Jan, Element constructor uses document.createElement internally. What you need is document.createElementNS [1]:
var el = document.createElementNS("http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml", "html:a"); el.appendChild( document.createTextNode("test") ); el.setAttribute('href', '/test'); $('container').appendChild(el); [1] http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/DOM:document.createElementNS - kangax On Apr 1, 2:00 pm, Jan Bölsche <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi! > > I am trying to make Prototype work in a mixed XHTML/SVG DOM (see Code > below).
