Hi all,
Within a <svg> element in my HTML body, I can use onclick(evt), as exemplified below:
============================================================ <svg width="500px" viewBox="0 15 80 30"> <circle id=circ1 r="6" cx="10" cy="30" onclick="top.doit(evt)" /> </svg> ============================================================
I can change the "evt" to "event" and it still works, but if I change it to anything else, for example "e", it fails. Is evt some kind of reserved word within SVG?
By the way, if an item in HTML itself (like a paragraph) has an onclick, you need to remove the "top." and only "event" will work.
I have the rudiments of a clickable map using SVG, CSS and Javascript, and am starting to build it into something useful.
Thanks,
