re: handling svg events in parent html document

Hi,

>In a message 'Accessing the SVG DOM from HTML' a description is given on
how to access SVG from

do the opposite: handle an SVG

an SVG event handler.

You can use eventhandlers in SVG just the way You use them in HTML:

For example
<g id='b1' class='bund' onmouseover="return MyFunction('MyParameter');">

would call a Javascript function MyFunction with the parameter MyParameter.
This function may be implemented in the Javascript code of Your surrounding
HTML.
Concerning the SVG-DOM, you are able to read and manipulate the style,
location and some other information, related to the object type. You have a
variety of eventhandlers, that you might use to access the Javascript
function.

There also exists a very good tutorial on the Adobe Website. You will find
Javascript code that may give you some ideas.
