The SVG script
element allows to add scripts to an SVG document.
While SVG's script
element is equivalent to the HTML <script>
element, it has some discrepancies, like it uses the href
attribute instead of src
and it doesn't support ECMAScript modules so far (See browser compatibility below for details)
html,body,svg { height:100% }
<svg viewBox="0 0 10 10" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"> <script> // <![CDATA[ window.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => { function getColor () { const R = Math.round(Math.random() * 255).toString(16).padStart(2,'0') const G = Math.round(Math.random() * 255).toString(16).padStart(2,'0') const B = Math.round(Math.random() * 255).toString(16).padStart(2,'0') return `#${R}${G}${B}` } document.querySelector('circle').addEventListener('click', (e) => { e.target.style.fill = getColor() }) }) // ]]> </script> <circle cx="5" cy="5" r="4" /> </svg>
