RE: [svg-developers] how to set a link to a svg element by JavaScript

Hi, Spring- You're making some wrong assumptions about SVG. 1) In order for text to show up, you must have a 'text' element, not simply place text in a container element like an 'a' element; 2) You cannot create a DOM object by simply making a string; you must create a new element from scratch.
