Hi Helder, thank you very much for your help and your explications !!! I just tried out your suggestion. It works in IE9. Unfortunatelly, there is still a problem with IE10 ??? After mouseout all pointer events are frozen ?
I have add a second use element even on the second element all pointer events are frozen ? It might be a bug In IE10 ? --- In svg-developers@yahoogroups.com, "HelderMagalhaes" <helder.magalhaes@...> wrote: > > > Dear list, > > Hi svgquestion, > > > > I have a very simple problem.
