Thus, this gives you the child element of the Document object (i.e. the child within that DOM). If you want to get elements outside of the Document, then you'll have to navigate to another Document Object Model. This is generally possible. Read this article, http://dev.opera.com/articles/view/svg-evolution-not-revolution/ Specifically on Page 2, I get into how to navigate between DOMs in the case of HTML and SVG integrated with the HTML:object entity. I even drew some pretty diagrams (in SVG, of course!). In the case of XHTML containing inline SVG nodes, then you would go from the SVGDocument up to the parent Node in the HTML DOM: - SVGDocument (http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/idl.html) inherits from Document - Document (http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Core/core.html#i-Document) inherits from Node - Node (http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Core/core.html#ID-1950641247) has a parentNode attribute Once you've navigated to the other DOM, then you'd use getElementById() method on the Document entity in that DOM. Hope this clues you in. Thanks, Jeff
