Re: [svg-developers] Re: getElementById-in-firefox-bug

2008-11-25 Thread Olaf Schnabel 
Hi developers

I tested Frank Bruders script with Firefox 3.0.4 and it worked (thanks 
Frank!). I got access to the (in FF) unknown animate element. But 
unfortunately the fakesmil script doesn't animate my bus track (see an 
example here:
http://www.ika.ethz.ch/schnabel/animated_bustrack_testff.svg

Has anyone an idea how to animate the bus track in Firefox? Do I miss 
something?

Thanks for any hints.
Regards
Olaf

 Testing in Firefox 3.0.1 showed that using 'xml:id' does not work.
 But Firefox implements a Javascript function to evaluate XPath
 expressions, so I figured it would be possible to find the element
 this way. Here's the code for a function which works with both 'id'
 and 'xml:id' in Firefox, and will work in all browsers in which
 getElementById() gives a result:
 
 function myGetElementById(id) {
 var element = document.getElementById(id);
 if(element==null  document.evaluate!=null) {
 element = document.evaluate(
 '//[EMAIL PROTECTED]:id=' + id + ' or @id=' + id + ']',
 document,
 function(ns) {
 switch(ns) {
 case xml:
 return http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace 
 http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace;
 case null:
 return null;
 }
 },
 XPathResult.ANY_TYPE,
 null
 ).iterateNext();
 }
 return element;
 }

   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. The other option is
 to push for FF to recognize the elements as SVG elements.

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 ...

Hi developers
   
I currently try to detect an animation element in a SVG file with
document.getElementById(). Unfortunately, Firefox 3.0.3 returns
 always
null. In Opera 9.62 and IE7+ASV3.03 this example works well (I
 am
working on Windows XP SP3). Has somebody an idea how this can
 be? I
thought that getElementById() is implemented in all major
 browsers???
   
Here is the link to the example:
