That should work AFAIK. And if the browser is html5-enabled, then document.cookies should work in svg and html documents alike, and you should be able to get/set cookies via that interface.

The last step, see http://xn--dahlstrm-t4a.net/svg/html/get-embedded-svg-document-script.html for an example (reaches into a referenced svg resource from the surrounding html to set the fill color). That shows how to grab the svg document (and consequently the contentWindow), so if you combine it with something like http://stackoverflow.com/questions/251420/invoking-javascript-in-iframe-from-parent-page then you should have all you need to be able to call functions inside the svg scripts. > Alternately, is there anything in ECMAScript/SVG that allows persistence > across sessions? You can store some data with HTML5 localStorage and/or sessionStorage. Both should be available on the window object, so should work even if svg is the main document.
