Re: [svg-developers] getElementById-in-firefox-bug
Right, my hypothesis is: - since FF3 doesn't handle svg's animation (or SMIL if you will) elements they become unknown XML elements in the DOM - as a consequence the 'id' attribute isn't on an svg element that FF3 knows, and therefore is not thought to be of type ID = it's handled as any other unknown attribute Or in other words, what you wrote :) Cheers /Erik On Thu, 30 Oct 2008 16:54:19 +0100, Olaf Schnabel [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Klaus and Erik thanks for your answers.

Olaf, could it be that this is due to missing animation support in FF3. It seems that unknown elements are discarded and thus not part of the DOM tree ...

The elements are part of the DOM tree, since it's XML, but the 'id' attribute is not of type ID for arbitrary XML. You could use 'xml:id' in such cases, but I'm not sure FF supports that.
