Hi,
Is it possible to create a marker in SVG using Javascript and then apply it to a newly created line? If so, please can you tell me what is wrong with the code below. I would expect the red and green lines to both have an arrow head but in both Chrome and Firefox 3.6 only the green line does.
<?php
header('Content-type: application/xhtml+xml');
echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>';
?>

<title>SVG test</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function init()
{
var div = document.getElementById('mainDiv');
var svgNode = document.createElementNS('http://www.w3.org/2000/svg', 'svg');
svgNode.style.width = "200px";
svgNode.style.height = "200px";
svgNode.style.overflow = 'visible';
svgNode.style.position = 'absolute';
svgNode.setAttribute('version', '1.1');
svgNode.setAttribute('xmlns', 'http://www.w3.org/2000/svg');
div.appendChild(svgNode);
var defs = document.createElementNS('http://www.w3.org/2000/svg', 'defs');
var marker = document.createElementNS('http://www.w3.org/2000/svg', 'marker');
marker.setAttribute('id', 'Triangle');
marker.setAttribute('viewBox', '0 0 10 10');
marker.setAttribute('refX', '0');
marker.setAttribute('refY', '5');
marker.setAttribute('markerUnits', 'strokeWidth');
marker.setAttribute('markerWidth', '4');
marker.setAttribute('markerHeight', '3');
marker.setAttribute('orient', 'auto');
var path = document.createElementNS('http;//www.w3.org/2000/svg', 'path');
marker.appendChild(path);
path.setAttribute('d', 'M 0 0 L 10 5 L 0 10 z');
svgNode.appendChild(defs);
defs.appendChild(marker);
var obj = document.createElementNS('http://www.w3.org/2000/svg', 'line');
obj.setAttribute('x1', 50);
obj.setAttribute('y1', 50);
obj.setAttribute('x2', 50);
obj.setAttribute('y2', 150);
obj.setAttribute('stroke', '#ff0000');
obj.setAttribute('stroke-width', 7);
obj.setAttribute('marker-end', 'url(#Triangle)');
svgNode.appendChild(obj);
