Hi Robert,

 

Where is getElementByPoint documented? I went looking in
http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/struct.html#DOMInterfaces for it but didn't find
it there.

 

On that topic, are there illustrations in the test suite anywhere for those
methods? Or is there an inventory of which browsers support them (Jeff
Schiller's chart is derived, maybe, from an earlier test suite than
http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/Test/20110816/harness/htmlObjectApproved/inde
x.html where some of those methods seem to be experimented with)?

 

Regards

David

document.getElementFromPoint will tell you whether a point is inside an
element.

Best regards
