Help accessing elements of elements using the DOM

Hi 

 

I have the following svg fragment contained in a svg document:

 

<g id="level_7">

<path id="Colour1" style="fill:#FFFFFF;"

                        "/>

</g>

 

I am able to use the getElementById function to return the element with
an id of 'level_7'. 

level  = document.getElementById('level_7');

 

I now need to get the element with an id of 'Colou1_1' and change some
of its attributes.

color = level.getElementById('Colour1');

 

Yet this causes errors saying the object does not support this function?

 

How else can I a) Get a element b) Get elements of the element?

 

Hope this is clear.

 

Thanks,

 

Sam
