Re: Cursor, event handling and declarative animation

Cameron,

thanks for your response
I should of made it clear, this enquiry is in respect of SVG1.1.
and how implementations are intended to function.

in respect of cursor, was it not intended that there should be a  
default indication for event handlers, as with HTML?
if not, what was the reasoning?

focusin is of particular significance, as afaik it has yet to be  
implemented.

http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/Test/20061213/svggen/script-handle-02- 
b.svg
is a script example

Do you know of a declarative animation example?

regards

Jonathan Chetwynd

You could do something like this:

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
   <circle cx="100" cy="100" r="50" onclick="alert('hi')"/>
   <circle cx="200" cy="200" r="50"/>
   <circle cx="300" cy="300" r="50" onclick="alert('hi')"/>
</svg>

and have as your user stylesheet:

   circle[onclick] {
     cursor: pointer;
     filter: url(http://somewhere.else.org/filters.svg#glow);
   }

where filters.svg#glow is some filter effect that makes the clickable
graphical elements distinguishable from those that aren’t.

For more complex modifications to the presentation, like your
underline/border example, XBL could be used (once it is implemented).

In SVG Tiny 1.2, an element needn’t be an anchor or a text element to
gain the focus.  See
http://www.w3.org/TR/SVGMobile12/interact.html#focus, which describes
how you can specify that an element can be focusable.
