Thanks Holger,
did the trick
what i was trying to originally was after the <animate> element was
added then to run the animation
I was using
a.setAttribute("begin", "indefinite");
and then sending
document.getElementById('anim2').beginElement()
but I'm guessing this beginElement() is sent too soon afte the
appendChild so that it doesn't actualy function - it can begin
something that doesn;'t yet exist!!!
if I hold the begineElement() call back with setInterval it works as
intened, but this is cludgy!!!
Thanks again
