I have the following svg. Of course document.body is always null because it refers to shadow DOM. Is it possible to access global document from this script?
Please don't tell me it doesn't make sense, believe me it does.

Yes, you can access the global document from a script in your external SVG file.
Your access is via:
window.top.document.body

If I am embedding an SVG using an <object> tag, is it possible to use normal DOM methods to access the children elements?
Example
First a simple SVG:
<svg id="Layer_1" data-name="Layer 1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
viewBox="0,0 100, 100">
<defs>
<style>
#cls-1 {
fill: none;
stroke: #000;
stroke-width: 4;
}
</style>
</defs>
<title>Circles</title>
<g id="cls-1">
<circle cx="30" cy="30" r="10" />
<circle cx="60" cy="60" r="10" />
</g>
</svg>
Then an HTML file that embeds the SVG using and tries to access the group defined in the SVG within a script:
<html>
<body>
<object
type="image/svg+xml"
height="200px"
data="mysvg.svg"
></object>
<button onclick="myAnimate()" />
<script>
const myAnimate = () => {
const group = document.getElementById("cls-1");
};
</script>
</body>
</html>
Wy doesn't this work?
I see in the devtools that the first child of this is #document. So it seems to have it's own DOM, I think I read this, but still have not wrapped my head around how it works.
Is there a way to access the element with id "cls-1" from JS?
EDIT: one way to make this work is to add the script within the svg itself; the DOM methods work normally for the DOM in the SVG
I am currently working with an svg image that I need help stringifying, If that makes sense. Basically how to make the image open in a text/code editor as only variables?
Here is an example of what I am looking for:
var svgData='PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI1MTIiIGhlaWdodD0iNTEyIiB2ZXJzaW9uPSIxLjEiPjxkZWZzPjxsaW5lYXJHcmFkaWVudCBpZD0ic3Ryb2tl
Currently when open an svg image in a text editor I just get something like this.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Any help is welcome! Thank You.
It looks like svgData is cut a little short. But if I understand your question right, you want that encoded svgData available in a textarea?
You can use the native functions btoa and atob (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/WindowBase64/Base64_encoding_and_decoding) to encode and decode the svg content.
For example using your svgData value: atob("PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI1MTIiIGhlaWdodD0iNTEyIiB2ZXJzaW9uPSIxLjEiPjxkZWZzPjxsaW5lYXJHcmFkaWVudCBpZD0ic3Ryb2tl") = <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="512" height="512" version="1.1"><defs><linearGradient id="stroke"
and we can convert it back with:
btoa('<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="512" height="512" version="1.1"><defs><linearGradient id="stroke"') = "PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI1MTIiIGhlaWdodD0iNTEyIiB2ZXJzaW9uPSIxLjEiPjxkZWZzPjxsaW5lYXJHcmFkaWVudCBpZD0ic3Ryb2tlIg=="

how can I load svg elements from external files to "defs1"
1 . using javascript XMLHttpRequest to load external svg file and parse it's elements and append child foreach element to defs1 , is it the best way ?
I have an svg file which is almost entirely made up of a script. I'd like to separate the script out, so that I can run it through a compressor, but I can't find a way to do this. Any help gratefully appreciated.
The svg file look like this:
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd">
<svg id="chart"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
onload="init(evt)" >
<script type="application/ecmascript">
<![CDATA[
...lots of code
//]]>
</script>
</svg>
What I've done is extracted out "lots of code" as lotsOfCode.js, and changed the svg file to:
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd">
<svg id="chart"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
onload="init(evt)" >
<script type="application/ecmascript" src="lotsOfCode.js">
</script>
</svg>
However, this doesn't work. The browser complains that it can't find the onload 'init' function. Any ideas? Do I have to do something to tell the browser that 'init' is in 'lotsOfCode.js'?
Thanks -
Al
Try using xlink:href instead of src:
<script type="text/ecmascript" xlink:href="lotsOfCode.js"></script>
Edit: You'll also need to reference the xlink namespace:
<svg id="chart"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"
onload="init(evt)" >
In addition to Gillys answer, have you tried moving the script include to go before the svg line?
Like this:
<script type="application/ecmascript" src="lotsOfCode.js">
</script>
<svg id="chart"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
onload="init(evt)" >
</svg>
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd">
<svg id="chart"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"
onload="init(evt)" >
<script type="text/ecmascript" xlink:href="lotsOfCode.js"></script>
<circle id='BlueCircle' cx='25' cy='25' r='20' style='fill:blue; '/>
</svg>
SVG standard allows to use and refer external SVG files.
I have a file circle.svg that defines a circle object with id "the_circle".
From the main SVG file I am able to include this circle and animate it, using SVG linking.
I would also like to access the same circle object via javascript, how can I do this ?
What is the javascript equivalent of xlink:href="url(#the_image)#the_circle" ?
Using document.getElementById('the_image') I can only access the SVGImageElement but not the objects defined inside the included SVG.
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd">
<svg width="100%" height="100%" version="1.1"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" >
<image
id="the_image"
x="0" y="0" width="100%" height="100%"
xlink:href="circle.svg" />
<animateTransform
xlink:href="url(#the_image)#the_circle"
attributeName="transform" attributeType="XML"
type="translate"
from="0" to="25"
dur="1s" repeatCount="indefinite"
additive="replace" fill="freeze" />
</svg>
It seems like the "right" way to do this would actually be to use an SVG "use" element, rather than an image. The reason for this is that the DOM interface of the SVG use element specifies a property "instanceRoot", which allows you to get the root of the "instance tree" corresponding to that use element: http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/struct.html#InterfaceSVGUseElement
So, you would end up with a solution that looks something like the following:
circle.svg:
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd">
<svg width="4in" height="4in" id="the_svg"
viewBox="0 0 4 4" version="1.1"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<circle r="1" fill="blue" stroke="none" id="the_circle"/>
</svg>
Document which uses the svg root node of circle.svg:
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd">
<svg width="100%" height="100%" id="foo"
version="1.1"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
<use xlink:href="circle.svg#the_svg"/>
</svg>
Unfortunately, though, while Firefox supports use of the use element with external documents, there's currently a bug in Webkit which does not allow this: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12499
Also, Firefox does not seem to implement the instanceRoot property for use elements.
So, it seems you may need to work around the limitations of current SVG implementations. The way I would recommend doing this is to use XMLHttpRequest to download the document to which you would like to link, and import the DOM of the downloaded document into your host document's DOM. The following code implements this, and works in Firefox, Opera and Chromium:
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd">
<svg width="100%" height="100%" id="foo"
version="1.1"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
<script>
function fetchXML (url, callback) {
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open('GET', url, true);
xhr.onreadystatechange = function (evt) {
//Do not explicitly handle errors, those should be
//visible via console output in the browser.
if (xhr.readyState === 4) {
callback(xhr.responseXML);
}
};
xhr.send(null);
};
//fetch the document
fetchXML("http://localhost:8082/tmp/circle.svg",function(newSVGDoc){
//import it into the current DOM
var n = document.importNode(newSVGDoc.documentElement,true);
document.documentElement.appendChild(n);
var circle = document.getElementById("the_circle"); //now you have the circle
})
</script>
</svg>
You can access the necessary element a bit easier:
document.getElementById('the_image').contentDocument.getElementById('the_circle')
See this image for reference (taken on dev.opera.com)
To supplement #echo-flow's excellent solution with the code in jQuery/Coffeescript:
$.get '/assets/hexagon.svg', (svgFileData)->
svgTag = svgFileData.documentElement
$('body').append(svgTag)
circle = $('#the_circle')
Here's a solution to this problem when using React and ES6. Usage:
<SvgImage url='pathToImage.svg'></SvgImage>
