Accessing DOM elements in an embedded doc

[Julius Mong]

Dear all, I have something like this:

<html... >
<embed ...>
</html>

Am I out of luck if I wanted to access the embedded DOM and manipulate its
content?

Or if I have:

<svg ...>
<svg ...>
...
</svg ...>
</svg>

Is it possible to manipulate the inner svg elements from a script defined in
the outer? I tried

var SVGDoc = evt.getTarget().getOwnerDocument();
var SVGRoot = SVGDoc.getDocumentElement();
var SVGInner = SVGDoc.getElementsByTagName("svg");
SVGInner.currentTranslate.x += dx;

and it won't work, if I did:

var SVGDoc = evt.getTarget().getOwnerDocument();
var SVGRoot = SVGDoc.getDocumentElement();
SVGRoot.currentTranslate.x += dx;

then the entire outer document gets translated, I've also tried
SVGDoc.getElementByID and getfirstChild with no luck... can someone point me
in the right direction?

Thanks, Jules

SVGDoc = document.embeds["svgPage"].getSVGDocument();
SVGRoot = SVGDoc.getDocumentElement();

An SVG embed in an HTML and then do whatever you want with the SVG
