SVGScriptElement: async property
Baseline
2025
Newly available
Since December 2025, this feature works across the latest devices and browser versions. This feature might not work in older devices or browsers.
The async property of the SVGScriptElement interface is a boolean value that controls how the script should be executed. It reflects the async attribute of the given <script> element. When set to true, the external script is fetched in parallel to parsing the SVG document, and the script is evaluated as soon as it becomes available.
Value
A boolean.
Examples
Accessing the async property
html
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="400" height="200">
<script id="myScript" href="script.js" async></script>
</svg>
js
const scriptElement = document.getElementById("myScript");
// Access the async property
console.log(scriptElement.async); // Output: true
