Re: just couple of questions

[G. Wade Johnson]

The method you want is setURI( String url ) on the JSVGCanvas
object.

If you have a JSVGCanvas object named can, you can do the following:

can.setURI( "http://www.example.com/really_cool.svg"; );

to retrieve the svg file listed. There may be some difficulty with where
you can retrieve the files in an applet. (I've just been testing locally
at present.)

If I've missed some details, someone will probably correct me.<grin/>
