All of the SVG DOM interfaces that correspond directly to elements in the SVG language derive from the SVGElement interface.

Properties

SVGElement.datasetRead 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 form data-*, where * is the key name for the pair. This works just like HTML's HTMLElement.dataset property and HTML's data-* global attribute.
SVGElement.idRead only: A DOMString representing the value of the id attribute on the given element, or the empty string if id is not present.
SVGElement.xmlbaseRead only: A DOMString corresponding to the xml:base attribute on the given element.
SVGElement.ownerSVGElementRead only: An SVGSVGElement referring to the nearest ancestor <svg> element. null if the given element is the outermost <svg> element.
SVGElement.viewportElementRead 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

The SVGElement interface doesn't provide any additional methods, but inherits methods from its parent, Element.
