SVG and Javascript

Adrian2005 · 2005-07-06 17:28:56

Hi, I want to create a html document with an SVG file embedded in it. I want to be able to select (highlight) text in the SVG document and record what that text is (for example just write it to the same page). I've been trying to do this with Javascript but I cannot find any operations that allow me to access the text…

Hi,

I want to create a html document with an SVG file embedded in it. I want to be able to select (highlight) text in the SVG document and record what that text is (for example just write it to the same page). I've been trying to do this with Javascript but I cannot find any operations that allow me to access the text (unlike the document.selection attribute which can be used to read the contents of what is selected on a html page).

I've searched the SVG DOM but I cannot find anything. The only place i've seen it done is in the Adobe SVG Viewer 3.0 where it's possible to highlight text, right-click it and copy it.

Any help appreciated.
