I have tried the same in all kinds of variations, but I can't get a
working SVG presentation from a javascript-generated string. What I
try to do is to generate an svg-string by javascript on an html page,
then open a new window and parse the string to that window. It works
if the string is saved as a file, which is then used as the url
argument of window.open(), but this cannot be done in javascript.
Could one of the developers please give a comment?
