Glad you got it working.
<object> would be the favored mechanism now that IE9 supports SVG (because of better fallback handling). <embed> was recommended at the time because of ASV. Next edition of the Primer (whenever that might be) will (barring discovery of the unforeseen) almost certainly recommend <object>. Based on my few experiments so far, scripting between HTML and SVG when SVG is inline in HTML is, very different (and maybe simpler?) from using <iframe>, <object> or <embed>, so perhaps some of the unpleasantry you’ve seen will be lessened when the tags exist within a common document. Alas, browser support for that seems to be spotty at present Ultimately, it might be cooler to be able to sprinkle HTML into SVG than the other way around, since who really needs HTML except on the rare occasion that it has a form element or a table to borrow?

I use <object> (as opposed to <embed> favored in the document) and it works in IE9, chrome, opera, FF6 with just the basic javascript (no frameworks)! However, it is sad we have to do such hacks to get the BASIC communication working. My original idea was to send custom events between the documents. It worked in IE9, chrome, opera, but failed in firefox. I it turned out firefox has very strict policy for inter-document eventing and it seems there is no will to allow such communication model.
