Re: svg and javascript embedded in html

Hi mario,


> document = window.document.svg1.getSVGDocument();
> svgElement = document.getElementById("elementname");

There are several things I'd suggest differently:
 1. Making an attribute to the "document" (special) variable may have
undesired results. Consider using another variable such as "svgEle";
 2. Acessing the element's identifier though it's JavaScript variable
("document.svg1") is deprecated (there should be warnings in the Error
Console). You should use "document.getElementById" instead;
 3. Best (only?) way to get a pointer to the SVG document's DOM in
Gecko is "CONTAINER_OBJECT_DOM.contentDocument" [1].

Summing up, you example would turn into:
 svgDocument = document.getElementById("svg1").contentDocument;
 svgElement = svgDocument.getElementById("elementname");

I've found this paragraph to be a little confusing. Please clear [2]
it up a if possible.
