I have found that there are lots of timing issues with different browsers. The onload handler on the HTML side gets invoked when the HTML file has "fully loaded", but that does not necessarily mean its "images" included SVG images referenced by OBJECT, EMBED or IFRAME have been loaded yet. Because of this, the HTML onload handler might be getting invoked before the SVG file has been loaded.
Instead, what you should try: (1) Use OBJECT instead of EMBED because OBJECT is the officially sanctioned element and is supported everywhere that SVG is supported natively, and because it is officially supported, you are more likely to find accurate specifications (2) Put an onload handler on the OBJECT tag for the SVG. This handler will get invoked when the SVG has successfully loaded. (3) Call getSVGDocument() in the onload handler for the OBJECT tag Jon Ferraiolo --- In [email protected], Oliver Boermans <boermans@...> wrote: > > On 13 July 2011 13:21, gmcaulee <gmcauley@...> wrote: > > <script type="text/javascript"><![CDATA[ > > > > function sayHello() { > > alert("Hello from test.svg!!!"); > > } > > > > // ]]></script> > > It's similar to working between an iframe and the containing document. > You can expose the function in the parent document.
