Hello,

Please help me with the following problem:

Chrome complains with The documentView interface is not supported Non-W3C methods of obtaining “window” also failed When tried to run these cross-platform examples.
https://jwatt.org/svg/demos/scripting-across-embed.html
https://jwatt.org/svg/demos/scripting-across-object.html

I remember I had used this a year back in my implementation and it worked fine with all the browsers including chrome. How it seems to complain.
One of the module is heavily dependent on this piece of code. Please help me how to resolve the issue or work around for the same.

I need to call the js functions inside the svg from external js.

Thank you

Recently I’ve found a neat trick [1] which avoids using IE’s conditional comments. This allows saving a few extra bytes and also make the document more elegant.

The example (that was screwed up by comment system) should have been:

<!–[if IE]><![if !IE]><![endif]–>
<p>This will not be seen by IE.</p>
<!–[if IE]><![endif]><![endif]–>

Just a word on conditional comments… “downlevel-revealed CCs” (Microsoft) are not valid markup… use a combination of them that hides them inside a real comment:

This will not be seen by IE.

Quick search reveals what I am referring to:

Hi,
I have a problem about the visualization of a SVG image!
I have a jsp that generate my SVG image via a java class that transform a XML file with a XSL file in a SVG file. Then in the same page I include the SVG image into an HTML Object tag! But the image is not shown, I think because it is not yet available at the moment of the loading.
There is someone that can help me?

Thanks.

Anand,

I’ve written an article on that which i believe should be published at the Opera developer’s site some time this month.

In the meantime, please look into the SVG DOM as it contains the answers. http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/idl.html. The SVGDocument attribute defaultView points to the containing frame (Window element), the Window attribute frameElement points to the containing HTML:object element.

Regards,
Jeff

i could not access the javascript code which in HTML page from svg using TOP.function name.

the case is SVG containing page is loaded in another page within a frame.

so if we access using top it refers the top most parent, not the immediate parent.

since svg doesn’t support parent, how to access the function which is in the immediate parent page.

The nightly builds now do, yes (17 days after this article was published, SVG landed). Can you let me know how integration between HTML and SVG works? Do they use the object tag without any issues? Thanks.
