    text
    copied!<p>Like my title says, I'm trying to programmatically creating an SVG image element in a HTML page using javascript. For some reason my basic javascript code isn't working, however if I use the raphaeljs library it works fine. So there's obviously a problem with my js - I just can't seem to figure out what it is.</p> <p>(note: the target browser is FF4+)</p> <p>Here is the basic page with an html version of what I'm trying to achieve up the top: </p> <pre><code>&lt;html&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://raphaeljs.com/raphael.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" id="test1" height="200px" width="200px"&gt; &lt;image id="testimg1" xlink:href="http://i.imgur.com/LQIsf.jpg" width="100" height="100" x="0" y="0"/&gt; &lt;/svg&gt; &lt;hr /&gt; &lt;p id="testP1"&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;hr /&gt; &lt;p id="testP2"&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </code></pre> <p>And here is my javascript:</p> <pre><code>var paper = Raphael(document.getElementById("testP1"), 200, 200); paper.image("http://i.imgur.com/LQIsf.jpg", 0,0, 100, 100); var svg = document.createElementNS('http://www.w3.org/2000/svg','svg'); svg.setAttributeNS('http://www.w3.org/2000/svg','xlink','http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink'); svg.setAttributeNS('http://www.w3.org/2000/svg','height','200'); svg.setAttributeNS('http://www.w3.org/2000/svg','width','200'); svg.setAttributeNS('http://www.w3.org/2000/svg','id','test2'); var svgimg = document.createElementNS('http://www.w3.org/2000/svg','image'); svgimg.setAttributeNS('http://www.w3.org/2000/svg','height','100'); svgimg.setAttributeNS('http://www.w3.org/2000/svg','width','100'); svgimg.setAttributeNS('http://www.w3.org/2000/svg','id','testimg2'); svgimg.setAttributeNS('http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink','href','http://i.imgur.com/LQIsf.jpg'); svgimg.setAttributeNS('http://www.w3.org/2000/svg','x','0'); svgimg.setAttributeNS('http://www.w3.org/2000/svg','y','0'); svg.appendChild(svgimg); document.querySelector('#testP2').appendChild(svg); </code></pre> <p>Live example: <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/Yansky/UVFBj/5/" rel="noreferrer">http://jsfiddle.net/Yansky/UVFBj/5/</a></p>
