SVG and HTML links

R

Richard

I have a SVG document with links out to html pages which works when
you run the SVG file i have tried to intergrate it into a coldfusion
page and the links no longer work.

The SVG file is :

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.0//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-SVG-20010904/DTD/svg10.dtd">
<svg width="250" height="250">
<a xlink:href="http://www.google.com">
<rect fill="#00ffff" stroke="#000000" stroke-width="0" x="30" y="30"
width="100" height="100"/>
</a>
<a xlink:href="http://www.yahoo.com">
<text fill="#000000" stroke="#000000" stroke-width="0" font-size="24"
font-family="@MS Mincho" x="30px" y="163px">Link to
yahoo</text>
</a>
</svg>

If you double click the file it opens in IE and works fine, but when i
copied the above code into a coldfusion page and added the usual
namespace code:

<html xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<object id="AdobeSVG"
classid="clsid:78156a80-c6a1-4bbf-8e6a-3cd390eeb4e2"></object>
<?import namespace="svg" implementation="#AdobeSVG"?>

Then modifed the code to include the <svg: tag it no longer works, the
code is below:

<svg:svg width="250" height="250">
<svg:rect fill="#00ffff" stroke="#000000" stroke-width="0" x="30"
y="30"
width="100" height="100"/>
<svg:a xlink:href="http://www.google.com">
<svg:rect fill="#00ffff" stroke="#000000" stroke-width="0" x="30"
y="30"
width="100" height="100"/>
</svg:a>
<svg:a xlink:href="http://www.yahoo.com">
<svg:text fill="#000000" stroke="#000000" stroke-width="0"
font-size="24"
font-family="@MS Mincho" x="30px" y="163px">Link to yahoo</svg:text>
</svg:a>
</svg:svg>

Any ideas why the links don't work when i intergrate the code into the
CFM page?

What about the xlink namespace, don't you need to declare that too?
