I'll give it a try. I guess in this case I'd have to pass the color as an argument and on load swap the fill from blue to another color value. Will this work if I have multiple shapes referencing the same pattern def?

Yes, what you wish to do can be done. I'd do something like changePattern("checkerPattern","newPatternGroup") where: function changepattern(id,newgroupid){ var P=document.getElementById(id) for (i in P.childnodes){ P.removeChild(P.items(i)) } //above should clean out the existing stuff in the pattern //then add the new stuff var G=document.getElementById(newgroupid) P.appendChild(G) } where newPatternGroup would be a group (probably defined in <defs>) containing the elements of the new pattern. I think that oughta work in browsers that support <pattern> hope this helps David [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ----- To unsubscribe send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -or- visit http://groups.yahoo.com/group/svg-developers and click "edit my membership" ---- Yahoo!
