'document.rootElement' thanks. The loading trick was because of slow loading SVGDocument was not availiable until loaded.
Don't know if that is still necessary using 'document'.

It doesn't hurt what you do, but it is also not necessary. What I don't understand is why you need to add <g id="Chart"/> to the root element. Isn't it already a child of the root element in your case below? Anyway, I hope this helps, Andreas --- In [email protected], "Aaron Gray" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > At the moment I am using :- > > <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"; > xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"; > version="1.1" > xml:space="preserve" > viewBox="0 0 1000 1000" > onload="Initialize( evt)" > > > > <g id="Chart" fill-opacity="0.7" stroke="black" stroke- width="0.075cm"/> > > ~~~ > > function Initialize( LoadEvent) > { > SVGDocument = LoadEvent.target.ownerDocument; > > var g = SVGDocument.getElementById("Chart"); > > ... > > } > > How can I access the SVG DOM root element inorder to add the chart <g> element using DOM ? > > Many thanks in advance, > > Aaron > > > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No virus found in this incoming message.
