Since I was intrigued by this issue, I looked into it still further and I think that the problem is more fundamental than I had first thought. I think the problem is your namespace declaration: ><body> > <svg width="300px" height="300px" xmlns:fme="http://www.safe.com"> > <text x="25" y="50" font-size="24">SVG Circle Element</text> > <text x="25" y="275">Click the circle to change its size.</text> > <circle cx="125" fme:COUNT="20" cy="150" r="50" fill="pink" stroke="green" > stroke-width="5" onclick="doCircle(evt)" /> > </svg> ></body> Unfortunately, the HTML5 spec says "The HTML syntax does not support namespace declarations, even in foreign elements."
