ForeignObject seems like the ideal tag to use for inserting Html content within Svg, however I believe IE9 does not (will not?) support the ForeignObject tag. The logic there it seems is that <div tags layered on top of the Svg should work just as well. There has been mixed support for ForeignObject in other browsers as well such as: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=65616
Here are a few decent resources for mixing Svg and Html: http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/IG/resources/svgprimer.html#scripting_HTML http://www.schepers.cc/svg/blendups/scriptbridge/scriptbridge-insertBug.html This has been a useful little script and works well for a lot of scenarios: http://www.carto.net/papers/svg/gui/textbox/index.svg Best.
