SVG + DOM + JS is pretty much the same like HTML + DOM + JS > 1) How does an XML parser distinguish between SVG and Javascript
usually, Javascript is in a CDATA block. The content of a CDATA block is ignored by the XML parser. Also the content of the CDATA block does not need to be wellformed. > 2) Does Javascript elemnt have a seperate DOM tree and SVG elements > have a separate DOM tree. There is no DOM tree for Javascript. The content of a Javascript block is interpreted by an ECMAScript interpreter. Javascript is an object oriented language. Once the ECMAScript code is interpreted, you can access methods and properties of the objects in use. The DOM is a theoretically language independent interface between the document tree (XML, HTML or SVG, or something else), however, in practice it is optimized for ECMAScript. The DOM provides interfaces for ECMAScript to access nodes, create nodes, delete nodes, reorder nodes, change attrihbutes of nodes, etc. Hope this helps a little bit. There is a small tutorial on the DOM and ECMAScript at http://www.carto.net/papers/svg/ manipulating_svg_with_dom_ecmascript/index.shtml and one for events at http://www.carto.net/papers/svg/eventhandling/index.shtml. I also found http://phrogz.net/ObjJob/objects.asp?langID=1 useful to see all methods and properties of objects in the SVG DOM, including inherited ones.
