Elastic SVG Elements. Towards a Resolution-Independent Web with SVG. The Web Platform has gone a long way since HTML5 was first made popular and people started looking into JavaScript as a language that could do build complex apps.
Many APIs have emerged and there is an abundance of content out there about how the browser can leverage all this. This specific article series will go a step further and focus on how these powerful technologies can be leveraged in practise, not to building cool demos and prototypes, but how real practitioners use them in the trenches. In this (post)HTML5 series, we'll go beyond buzzwords and get practical insight from experts about what has actually worked for them. We'll also talk about technologies (like AngularJS) that go a step further, and define the future of how the standards and web development will evolve.
This InfoQ article is part of the series “Next Generation HTML5 and JavaScript”. Designers Ideal for resolution-independent user interface icons One less step in the designer’s workflow. Better Open Source tools. Browser SVG support. About "Can I use" provides up-to-date browser support tables for support of front-end web technologies on desktop and mobile web browsers.

Status of this document This section describes the status of this document at the time of its publication.

B.1 SVG DOM overview This appendix provides an introduction to the SVG DOM and discusses the relationship of the SVG DOM with the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 2 Core Specification [DOM2]. The specific SVG DOM interfaces that correspond to particular sections of the SVG specification are defined at the end of corresponding chapters in this specification, as follows: The SVG DOM builds upon and is compatible with DOM Level 2. The SVG DOM requires complete support for DOM Level 2 Core [DOM2]Wherever appropriate, the SVG DOM is modeled after and maintains consistency with the Document Object Model HTML ([DOM1], chapter 2).The SVG DOM requires complete support for DOM Level 2 Views [DOM2VIEWS].The SVG DOM requires support for relevant aspects of DOM Level 2 Events [DOM2EVENTS]. A DOM application can use the hasFeature method of the DOMImplementation interface to verify that the interfaces listed in this section are supported.

Monday, September 1st, 2008 <p>The SVG foreignObject tag allows you to mix non-SVG content into your page.
For example, you could drop some HTML in the middle of an SVG element. Firefox 3 recently announced support for foreignObject; both Safari and Opera have supported this tag for awhile. From Mark Finkle comes two examples (1, 2). The first embeds some HTML text into SVG shapes to take advantage of HTML’s nice reflowing and text abilities: Screenshot of HTML embedded in SVG.
