Hello, note, that Mozilla/Gecko/Firefox removed declarative interactivity (this means without the requirement for script interpretation) for SVG some versions ago (number 9?) intentionally due to security/privacy problems in this viewer and in (X)HTML, as far as I understand this. (The arguments in the discussion are still a bit surprising, because obviously the security/privacy problems persist, if script interpretation is activated, almost at the same time they removed the simple button to allow normal users to decide about script interpretation - looks like the gecko developers mainly want to force users to activate script interpretation to enable even more privacy, security and stability issues/problems for the user ;o) Therefore, at least for this viewer one first has to solve such security and conceptual problems, before declarative SVG interactivity becomes available again, with or without using the SVG with xhtml:img, directly embedded into the XHTML-document or within xhtml:object or xhtml:iframe. Obviously, if viewers switch off script interpretation by default for the xhtml:img content, there will be no declarative SVG interactivity anyway due to such an intended bug. As one can already see with this example - intentionally introduced bugs in viewers often block effectively lots of meaningful use cases for SVG. Olaf
