web api interface

SVGElement

View on MDN ↗

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

Instance properties

Also inherits properties from the Element interface.

  • attributeStyleMap Read only
    • : A StylePropertyMap representing the declarations of the element’s style attribute.
  • autofocus
    • : Whether the control should be focused when the page loads, or when a <dialog> or popover become shown.
  • className Deprecated Read only
    • : An SVGAnimatedString that reflects the value of the class attribute on the given element, or the empty string if class is not present. This attribute is deprecated and may be removed in a future version of this specification. Authors are advised to use classList instead.
  • 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 form data-*, where * is the key name for the pair. This works just like HTML’s dataset property and HTML’s data-* global attribute.
  • nonce
    • : Returns the cryptographic number used once that is used by Content Security Policy to determine whether a given fetch will be allowed to proceed.
  • ownerSVGElement Read only
    • : An SVGSVGElement referring to the nearest ancestor <svg> element. null if the given element is the outermost <svg> element.
  • style
  • tabIndex
    • : The position of the element in the tabbing order.
  • 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.

Instance methods

This interface also inherits methods from Element.

  • blur()
    • : Removes keyboard focus from the currently focused element.
  • focus()
    • : Makes the element the current keyboard focus.

Events

Listen to these events using addEventListener() or by assigning an event listener to the equivalent on... handler property.

  • abort
    • : Fired when page loading is stopped before an SVG element has been allowed to load completely.
  • error
    • : Fired when an SVG element does not load properly or when an error occurs during script execution.
  • load
    • : Fires on an SVGElement when it is loaded in the browser.
  • resize
    • : Fired when an SVG document is being resized.
  • scroll
    • : Fired when an SVG document view is being shifted along the X and/or Y axes.
  • unload
    • : Fired when the DOM implementation removes an SVG document from a window or frame.
