I still haven’t learnt Javascript. Right now I’m trying to integrate svg-edit and Oddmuse. This requires some Javascript voodoo that escapes me.
If you upload a SVG file to http://www.emacswiki.org/test/SVG_Test, you’ll be able to look at it. I’m using an iframe to do that.
http://www.emacswiki.org/test/SVG_Test
If you then click on *Edit this page* and then on *Edit image in the browser*, you’ll get the SVG editor.
What I’m lacking is loading and saving the image!
If you look around the svg-edit project’s pages, you’ll note example code like the following:
svgEditor.loadFromString('<svg>...</svg>');
What I don’t understand is where this code runs and how svgEditor is set.
If I simply add the following to the top of the page, inside the header, then Firebug will tell me that the svgEditor object does not exist.
<script type="text/javascript">
svgEditor.loadFromString('<svg>...</svg>');
</script>
What now? Is this a variable “inside” the iframe? Is this something I need to initialize by calling a function? Which one?

It looks like you’re not including the javascript library that provides the SVG editing functions.

Hah, I’m seeing the light. Copying the script over to localhost has fixed this. I’ve come a long way. Now I need MIME encoding in Javascript, and probably a cool Save dialog – or a little rewrite.
