no, you don't need to wrap it in the group.
var myPath = document.getElementById('myPathid');
var bbox = myPath.getBBox();
alert(bbox.x+","+bbox.y+","+bbox.width+","+bbox.height);
should work just fine.
Are you perhaps testing it in MozillaSVG? If yes, you have to be aware that
there is a bug
that prevents using bounding boxes in functions called "onload". You have to
use a slight
delay and then it works fine. window.setTimeout() is your friend in this case.
Hopefully, this bug is fixed some day.
