RE: SVG in JavaScript (parseXML, printNode,contextMenu)

Hi Nelson, I’m just guessing, but those questions might more properly be directed to somewhere like svg-developers@yahoo.com which is more about helping folks with questions. I think all of those things you mention (though I didn’t use all of them) were specific to the Adobe viewer (ASV).  In modern browsers,  one might use a library like JQuery or snap.svg (that I assume would handle most of those features), or, in the case of printNode (which I loved when it was available) one can now put the SVG inline in HTML and use innerHTML to get the source:

 

See for example: http://cs.sru.edu/~ddailey/svg/IframeSVG.htm 

 

Question to the group at large: since svgdevelopers at Yahoo seems to have dwindled in traffic quite a bit in recent years, is there a better forum to consider? I know there is a lot of distributed activity here and there. Will http://www.webplatform.org/ ultimately have forums for questions and answers?

 

Cheers

David

Subject: SVG in JavaScript (parseXML, printNode,contextMenu)

 

 In 2004 I used the Adobe SVG Viewer displays it in the browser. I'm trying to use the same code in a browser with native SVG. But I'm having problems with parseXML, setData, printNode, contextMenu. How do I replace these functions so that the JavaScript can be played back directly in Browser natively?

 

Thanks
