I had hoped someone more knowledgeable would answer this, but in short, you don't have many options. SVG 1.2 will support text input, but most viewers don't implement it yet, and certainly not fully.
One workaround is to use a Javascript input dialog prompt. It's not too hard to have the prompt open when someone clicks something and then pass that data back to the SVG document. Depending on what you're doing, that may not be elegant enough. --- In [email protected], "russellgum" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I have an svg document that includes several rectangles that change color when clicked on > and a rectangle that sends the color of the rectangles to my server as a POST message > using Ajax.
