Actually, it's the location property of the document, not the URL property that allows access to parameters in JavaScript, but in practice, JavaScript does allow access to parameters. If SVG could do the same when called upon by background: url(a.svg?bg1=foo,bg2=bar) or something similiar, we would have better flexibility. ... document.write(document.location); </script> <form method='GET' action='self.html'> <input type='text' name='foo' value='This is foo'/> <input type='submit'/> ... (This example in self.html works with Gecko and MSIE and maybe others.) If recommending against using url() for passing URL-encoded parameters, how would you recommend to pass parameters? _-Ted Shaneyfelt p.s. I'd also be interested in using XSLT to generate the svg background document, if there were a mechanism to do so. If XML could build the document with XSLT on the fly (if XML or XSLT could accept parameters in this manner): - The layering could be handled by SVG, - The scalability could be handled by XSLT, - The parameters could be handled by XML and the url() interface (or something like it, perhaps call it location() instead of url() if you like).
