Hi Nick,
Dynamically building SVG elements is a 'must have' within a browser.
I've tested IE9 with inline SVG and find it can dynamically build/update all
svg elements.
e.g.
//---namespace required to create inline svg elements----
var NS="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg";
var mySymbol=document.createElementNS(NS,"symbol");
mySymbol.id="mySymbol"
mySVG.appendChild(mySymbol)
I don't do much work in other browsers, but It would be a major oversight if
they do not include dynamic SVG.
Regards,
Francis
