Now, it doesn't say that it should return anything else than the boundingbox defined by the SVG specification, and that definition doesn't include the stroke. There is no DOM method available to get a bbox including the stroke/filter effects/markers or any combination thereof in SVG 1.1. That doesn't exclude the possibility of adding that functionality to SVG2 of course, which I assume is what Alex was getting at. -- Erik Dahlstrom, Core Technology Developer, Opera Software Co-Chair, W3C SVG Working Group Personal blog: http://my.opera.com/macdev_ed
