Re: SVG "Text Box"

Daniel,

It's a SVGT 1.2-only feature:
http://www.w3.org/TR/SVGMobile12/text.html#TextInAnArea

The only desktop browser that supports this that I'm aware of is Opera
- so I haven't played with it much on the web.

The other (perhaps better) option is to use foreignObject with HTML inside.

Regards,
Jeff
