I'm being driven up the wall here trying to script something using the "srcElement" property of an event. Everything I read about javascript/ecmascript in general says I should be able to use something along the lines of "event.srcElement.id" to grab the id of whichever element caused the event. But whenever I do try to give srcElement a property such as "id" or "type" or "src" or just about anything, I get a "null or not an object" error.
I'm using a switch/case statement inside a "function mouseover_listener(evt)" block. I've got four SVG elements with the mouseover event listener attached to them. The attachment works, because moving the mouse over any of the elements causes the "default" line of the switch/case statement to execute. But I can never manage to get any of the specific cases to work. What I think I should be doing is using "evt.srcElement.id" in the switch/case statement and then using the "id" attribute of each element for each case, but it just never lets me use that. The elements in question are rectangles with the "id" attribute properly assigned. (I've tried other attributes too.) I'm under the impression that "event.srcElement" is a reference to the element that triggered the event in question, and that "event.srcElement.someAttribute" accesses the attribute called "someAttribute" of the given element. Is this correct? If so, what's the problem? Even if you can't answer these specific questions, a brief run-down of how srcElement works with SVG elements would be nice.
