This tread confused me;-)
I guess part of the muddle is that window isn't window and document is not document when it comes to html<->svg (script) interaction. Moreover, if you open a plain svg, the asv browser integration will generate a html document on the fly; yet you do have a html hosting the svg (embed obj). window is not window: remember these windows are different objects : [in HTML]: browser window object (i.e. recognizes window.open, window.opener, window.top, etc.) [in SVG]: asv plug-in window object (i.e. recognizes window.getSVGViewerVersion, window.contextMenu, etc.) again, [in HTML]: window.document is the browser html document object (i.e. recognizes document.body, document.all, etc.) [in SVG]: window.document is the SVGDocument object (i.e. recognizes document.childNodes, document.rootElement, etc.) roundtripping samples for illustration: [in HTML]: window.document['plugins']['0']['window']['document'] ['rootElement'] (->svg object type of SVGSVGElement, window<>window, document<>document ) [in SVG]: window.parent['document']['parentWindow']['document']= (- > html object type of document, doc is doc) Give it a break, - , in asv 'window' is implemented as '_window_impl', and 'parent' is implemented as'__parent__' . (In asv6 'window.parent' is broken, nevertheless 'window.__parent__' still works.) hth and didn't unduly confuse you;-) Paul --- In [email protected], "riverside6" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Fred, you'll notice a post by myself earlier today referencing the > same error.
