Hi, Ravi- I'm not sure why you thought that would work. There are no native tooltips in SVG (yet, though SVG1.2 changes that), and there is no 'alt' attribute for SVG elements. (Also, it's not typically safe to try the dot-accessor method of accessing attributes, and you should be using the namespace-aware methods for createElementNS, like you did for setAttributeNS, but that's not why your script isn't working.)
I happen to have a little tooltip implementation in JavaScript that might help you out: http://svg-whiz.com/samples.html#tooltip Hope that helps- Doug doug . schepers @ vectoreal.com www.vectoreal.com ...for scalable solutions. dandiya wrote: | | | I am trying to implement a tool tip for a mouseover event in | svg,This is the code I wrote inside my java script file. | | | var q = svgdoc.createElement('a'); | q.setAttributeNS | ('http://www.w3.org/2000/xlink/namespace/','xlink:href',sysLink); | p.appendChild(t); | p.appendChild(_title); | q.addEventListener("mouseover", showToolTip, false); | q.appendChild(p); | canvas.appendChild(q); | | | function showToolTip(evt) | { | var target = evt.target; | target.alt = "My tooltip text" | } | | This doesn't work.
