My understanding is that won't work. I will give it a try, but I think I need to use `document.createElementNS` and then add then add the child to a node. From the examples I have seen, it needs to be done for every node created which could be accomplished by java script, which is something I am consider. If it works with just one node for the whole document, then I will give it a go. It isn't a public apps, so I have control over the browsers of choice.

Give it a try. ;-)

Ok, I finally got my application to a point where I could give it a try... A normal `dijit.ConentPane.href = "test.svg"` which performs and XHR GET and add it as a node as well as `document.createElementNS` with an XHR GET of the file works fine in FireFox 3.6 with an HTML5 document, but neither method works in Chrome. So I am sorry, it doesn't work.

OK, the next resort is <embed>. I updated my answer.

Eugene Lazutkin 2010-03-07 20:57:09

Well, Firefox 3.6, it works like a charm and the `<svg>` is joined as a child of the `<embed>` tag. The exact same thing in Chrome, Chrome seems to parse the tag, but it just sits there and doesn't even GET the URI.

I didn't get it: did it or did it not work for you in Chrome? It works for me --- I just tried it. And I tried in Opera --- it works too. Probably you are doing something wrong.

Eugene Lazutkin 2010-03-08 21:36:35

How, fundamentally could I be doing something wrong when it clearly works in one browser and not another. It could be anything from the `DOCTYPE` (html/HTML5 in my case) to the Content-Type served up by the web server. I will continue to look into seeing if I can fix it, but as it stands now, it doesn't work. I will try it in Safari later today and see if it is a WebKit issue.

Kitson 2010-03-10 14:17:35

I agree with you --- most probably I do something wrong if it works for me in all browsers I mentioned. :-)

Eugene Lazutkin 2010-03-11 05:57:57

Unlike somebody else we both know I have a link to a demo, which demonstrates that embed works. I updated the answer. Just take a look and see if it works for you, and see what you did differently. Obviously we all expect to see all gory details of your experiment. I can't wait to see your example, so I can help you to find what is wrong with it.

Eugene Lazutkin 2010-03-11 06:05:52

Heh, got -2 on trying to help with this question everybody else is ignoring. That'll teach me! ;-)

Eugene Lazutkin 2010-03-11 06:06:40

I only gave you -1 because your example didn't work for me... Someone else must have given you the other, so obviously I am not alone. I do appreciate your helping, but as you point out, everyone is ignoring this, so I am going to undo my -1 and accept the answer to not affect your precious rating and just work on the problem myself. It teaches me that community based help ain't all it is cracked up to be.

Kitson 2010-03-14 10:16:35

I don't really care about the rating, hence a smile in my message. I am more interested in *why* it didn't work for you. So far I didn't see any hints on how to reproduce your case. Does SVG Primer's example work for you?Regarding the community-based help. It works mostly for simple questions (== newbies). For an expert advise you are better off exploring different (specialized) venues. Your questions is a generic SVG question suitable for an SVG community. The only reason I saw it because I monitor questions tagged with "dojo" and I am the original author of dojox.gfx.
