Re: Pointer Events in SVG

Daniel,

Please could you provide your expectations for limit values?
ie four corners of blue box.

The grouping of the data doesn't seem obvious, x,y....

in OS X,

Safari displays results, Mozilla and Opera do not.
I am using nightlies which may effect results.

Hi,

just to quickly introduce myself, I work at Vodafone and contributed  
to the WICD Testsuite.

I would like to know, is there a way to get the pointer-position in  
reference to an SVGs coordinate-system? Please take a look at the  
following testfile (with Opera 9.23, Firefox2, Safari3):
http://dev.danielherzog.de/wicd/pointerPositionTesting.xhtml

The blue rect is part of an SVG that has a viewBox of only 20 x 6,  
but the whole thing is in a container much bigger and is therefore  
scaled up. When hovering the SVG you see some properties of mouse- 
events below it, but none of them quite fit the SVGs coordinate  
system. The maximum x-values for that would be 20 then. I think it  
would be important to have an easy way for getting to these values,  
just thinking of a simple mousefollow, or slider controls, for example.

Thanks a lot,
Daniel
