Hi Paul, Check out https://meapplicationdevelopers.dev.java.net/phoneme_ui_labs.html. This site has a lot of simple SVG tutorials and demos, along with code. There are some examples that do what you want, change colors and other attributes using the DOM APIs. Though meant for mobile devices, the DOM manipulation code is the same as for desktop apps. -Venky
