hi sam no, you can't on a client machine that accesses two different servers. that is not a SVG issue but has been that way back in 1997 when i first had this problem. this is a client side script security reason.
you need to make the reading code AND the svg coming form one unique domain, there is no workaround on the client side. andré -- ___________________________________________________________________ andre m. winter, cartography for internet and multimedia applications schiessstand 4/1, a6091 goetzens, tyrol, austria tel.: ++43.5234.32732 email: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://www.vectoreal.com/> SVG consulting and development <http://svg.carto.net/> online cartography focusing on SVG <http://www.carto.at/> print and online touristic map solutions samcctan wrote: >Thanks Andreas! >I think I understand what you mean here.
