WebDraw used to do that through its DOM inspector, if you can still
find it. And there must be others like XMLSpy probably?, etc.
Otherwise what I think is the least expensive solution, it's to make a
script that:
1) adds event listeners to all or whichever elements you need.
2) creates a text node "myInfoText" where to show the info you need.
3) in the handleEvent function:
if (evt.type == "mouseover") {
var myTarget = evt.target;
// showInfo(printNode(myTarget));
showInfo(myTarget);
}
if (evt.type == "mouseout") {
showInfo("");
}
4) write a showInfo(nodeInfo) function that reads whatever myTarget
attributes you need and prints them to "myInfoText".
Then you will only need to link this file to the SVG document to scan
and place an onload function call, not forgetting to remove afterwards.
ASV has a very practical, non standard, printNode() method (commented
in the above snippet) that allows you to simply state in the showInfo
function:
svgdoc.getElementById("myInfoText").firstChild.nodeValue = "node info:
" + nodeInfo;
For this type of private usage I don't think there's anything wrong
with using a non standard method.
