This is an unfortunate missing design from SVG, and something we are going to address in the next specifiation either of SVG or DOML2. In fact we talked about it in Lyon, FR a few weeks ago.
JWatt has made a nice proposal: http://jwatt.org/svg/tmp/mouse-relative-positioning.svg There are issues with where it belongs, but the implementation under the covers should work for what you are trying to accmomplish (though I think the beta of IE9 is not quite doing the right there here) --- In svg-developers@yahoogroups.com, Kenneth Nellis <nelli...@...> wrote: > > I have this SVG file* that displays a centered grid, dimensions > 10x10, that scales to the size of the web page.
