Thanks all who responsed to "How to set a link to svg element by JavaScript" . Doug's code works.
This time I have a new question. To open the link in a new window, I added the following line in Doug's code(see below for details): newA.setAttributeNS(xlinkns, 'target','_blank'); But the link page still came on the same window. Please advise.
