Hi, you'd better use the transform property of the SVG DOM elements. Here is a little function to get the angle properly : http://jsbin.com/usopay/edit#javascript,html Yannick

I'm working on a web application which is based on SVG. I have a little problem concerning the rotate parameters of a text element. I want to fetch the first parameter of a rotate function which represents the rotation angle in degrees. I use the jQuery SVG plugin of Keith Wood to use jQuery to interact with the SVG canvas. To fetch the angle I use the indexOf and substring methods of JavaScript. For instance: currentFontRotation = currentId.attr('transform'); var bracket = currentFontRotation.indexOf('rotate('); var comma = currentFontRotation.indexOf(','); bracket = bracket +7; currentFontRotationNumber = currentFontRotation.substring(bracket, comma ); The variable currentId represents the selected text element. Is there a more clean way to get the angle. I think it's a pretty dirty method to use the indexOf and substring methods in this case.
