SVG namespaced documents should create HTML elements
Reported by Juan J. Collas | December 8th, 2009 @ 08:51 AM | in 1.2.x
For compatibility with existing browsers, creating an element that's using the svg namespace, HTML (not XML) elements should be created:
diff --git a/src/html/document.js b/src/html/document.js
index f8947fa..9e47662 100644
--- a/src/html/document.js +++ b/src/html/document.js @@ -89,6
+89,8 @@ extend(HTMLDocument.prototype, {
return this.createElement(local);
}else if ("http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" == uri) {

}else if ("http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" == uri) {

return this.createElement(local); } else if ("http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" == uri) { if (!this.mathplayerinitialized) { var obj = this.createElement("object");

Oops, formatting wrecked the patch.

Can you supply a thorough test case? I will also but shouldn't it depend on if the document type is xhtml or html? I'm not sure, but I have found Envjs to be a great bridge for svg development in the past so I'd really like to focus on it as feature.
Thanks for the ticket, I'll dig deep and report back soon.

ok I explored this and think I'm on the same page. fortunately the patch was applied awhile ago. it may be a couple weeks before we get good coverage in the spec tests for xml embedded in html but for now we have what I hope you'll agree is a lowest common denomitator.

ps i removed the mathml stuff too, the other code was actually nonsensical and was a monkey-patch (you can blame me) that came from integration with the html parser.

I'm not seeing the above patch in master, and SVG elements aren't created as HTML elements. It seems this ticket should be reopened.

I have a little code for this in my branch but haven't looked at how it compares to 1.2.
What I'm curious about, though, is what people think the expected outcome is here. Maybe I'm missing something important, but I don't think these should be created as HTML elements. They need to be SVG elements. That's what I see Chrome and FireFox doing. My code does createElementNS's and the result is in the svg namespace. Are people expecting something other than that?

I think the issue is that SVG elements in Chrome and Firefox inherit from (or at least duck-type as) HTMLElements -- they have all of the HTMLElement methods, whereas in env.js they don't at present.
