All of the SVG DOM interfaces that correspond directly to elements in the SVG language derive from the SVGElement
interface.
Properties
Also inherits properties from: DocumentAndElementEventHandlers
, Element
, ElementCSSInlineStyle
, GlobalEventHandlers
, HTMLOrForeignElement
, SVGElementInstance
SVGElement.dataset
Read only- A
DOMStringMap
object which provides a list of key/value pairs of named data attributes which correspond to custom data attributes attached to the element. These can also be defined in SVG using attributes of the formdata-*
, where*
is the key name for the pair. This works just like HTML'sHTMLElement.dataset
property and HTML'sdata-*
global attribute. SVGElement.className
Read only- An
SVGAnimatedString
that reflects the value of theclass
attribute on the given element, or the empty string ifclass
is not present. This attribute is deprecated and may be removed in a future version of this specification. Authors are advised to useElement.classList
instead. SVGElement.ownerSVGElement
Read only- An
SVGSVGElement
referring to the nearest ancestor<svg>
element.null
if the given element is the outermost<svg>
element. SVGElement.viewportElement
Read only- The
SVGElement
, which established the current viewport. Often, the nearest ancestor<svg>
element.null
if the given element is the outermost<svg>
element.
Methods
This interface has no methods, but inherits methods from: DocumentAndElementEventHandlers
, Element
