Re: dispatchEvent on svg node in firefox

well, in my case, with html it works. In addition, in Safari and Opera it
works as well, both with html and svg. Just with svg in Firefox it doesn't
work.

what I might add to the description of my problem: the xhtml  + svg is
contained within an iFrame and the Javascript runs in the context of the
outer file (the one that contains the iFrame). But i'm not sure, whether
this makes my code privileged. Btw: could you please write a sentence about
what privileged code is, or just point me to a page with some explanations?
That would be great.
