Hi Alexander, I don't have the time to go into details here.
For building any serious interactive SVG applications, support of all the events listed at http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/ interact.html#SVGEvents and the evt object with all its properties and methods is absolutely necessary. Additionally, the DOM element traversal methods are important (.firstChild, .nextSibling, .parentNode, .lastChild, etc.), document.getElementById(), .getElementsByTagName(), etc. Furthermore the DOM manipulation methods, such as .createElementNS(), .appendChild(), removeChild(), .replaceChild(), .cloneNode(), .setAttributeNS(), .removeAttributeNS(), .hasAttributeNS(), etc. are essential. For any Geometry manipulations, the PATH DOM properties and methods, such as .getTotalLength(), .getPointAtLength(), An absolutely essential method is the .getScreenCTM() which is unfortunately missing in ASV3. It helps to translate evt.clientX/Y coordinates into the coordinate systems where the elements reside. http://www.carto.net/papers/svg/gui/ - lists a few SVG GUI elements that make use of JS/DOM. I believe they reflect rather well the DOM methods an average SVG 1.1 application might need. Of course there are additional useful methods out there, but if your viewer can handle the GUI elements listed at http://www.carto.net/papers/svg/ gui/ I am sure your viewer will be able to display around 75% of the scripted SVG content out there. BTW, here is a useful resource when working with the DOM: http://phrogz.net/ObjJob/objects.asp?langID=1 It has cross-references to other W3C standards. Good luck and let me know if you need more information from me. Maybe other developers can add what they need most urgently.
