Thanks, and yes. I have made a note to myself to correct this in the next round of updates. Just fyi, Phil Archer and Doug Schepers and I have actually been making exactly some of these corrections over the past few months.... slowly but surely! Using this book as the centerpiece of a recent course has sifted out lots of impurities! cheers David ----- Original Message ----- From: "G Be" <gbe8086@yahoo.com> To: <www-svg@w3.org> Sent: Wednesday, January 12, 2011 8:33 PM Subject: Defect in "An SVG Primer for Today's Browsers" - syntax errors in example "Chapter II: SVG Basics" "3. Operations: Grouping, Reusing, Scaling, Translation and Rotation" "6. use" seems to contain two errors 1. The example "Reusing code (with modifications) — the <use> tag" <g fill="black"> <g id="G"> <rect x="100" y="100" width="100" height="20" fill="inherit" /> <rect x="100" y="160" width="100" height="20" fill="inherit" /> <ellipse cx="150" cy="140" rx="30" ry="100" fill="#777" /> <rect x="100" y="130" width="100" height="20" fill="inherit" /> </g></g> <use xlink:href="G" transform="translate(120,0)" fill="#bbb"> I think the "<use ...>" element is a missing the trailing '/' and should be "<use .../>", i.e. <use xlink:href="G" transform="translate(120,0)" fill="#bbb"/> 2. The reference 'xlink:href="G"' doesn't work in my browsers (Safari, Firefox, Chrome, Opera), but it does work with 'xlink:href="#G"'
