RE: newby : pb with SVG and SMIL

You are getting the behavior you describe because you are using hyperlinks
to begin the items, instead of begin semantics on the animateTransforms. The
first time, this works fine, but then when you click again, rather than
beginning the animateTransform at the current time, it will seek back to the
time you began the first one, and then play forward from there. Since you
had later clicked on the second one, you have a resolved begin time for that
and so you see that again.  This is actually quite nice behavior in one
sense, but not what I take it you want ;-).

Try replacing the hyperlink activation with begin attributes that directly
tie to the rectangles and the click events.
Snipping a bit:
...
   <animateTransform id="anim_calend"  attributeName="transform"
attributeType="XML"
      type="transform" to="117,33" fill="freeze"
      begin="rect1.click" dur="0.10s" />
...
   <rect id="rect1" width="20" height="20" x="40" y="20" fill="yellow"/>

This covers common cases, but does not allow for accessible interaction (it
forces mouse click interaction, where <a> elements allow activation through
a variety of means like keyboard input, voice input, etc.). If you need
accessible behavior, you can keep your hyperlinks, but give them ID values,
use a dummy target (xlink:href) (so they do not really do anything when
activated) and then specify the animateTransform to use:

   ... begin="hyperlink1.activate"

Hope this helps -
