Example 1-2 |
To get the SVG example to work in Firefox, I had to add the SVG namespace to the svg element: xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
AUTHOR NOTE: Correct, but not detectable when book was written, because Firefox wasn't available then.

Example 3-13 (code) lacks stroke color values so horizontal lines don't show. |
Corrected code:
<line x1="10" y1="15" x2="50" y2="15"
style="stroke: black; stroke-linecap: butt; stroke-width: 15;"/>
<line x1="10" y1="45" x2="50" y2="45"
style="stroke: black; stroke-linecap: round; stroke-width: 15;"/>
<line x1="10" y1="75" x2="50" y2="75"
style="stroke: black; stroke-linecap: square; stroke-width: 15;"/>
<!-- guide lines -->
<line x1="10" y1="0" x2="10" y2="100" style="stroke: #999;"/>
<line x1="50" y1="0" x2="50" y2="100" style="stroke: #999;"/>

Top and Figure 5-8 |
The first and second code fragments both give height="20" and width="15" with uniform
scaling on each of the axes, yet Figure 5-8 shows a rectangle wider than it is high.
the height and width should be
height="15" and width="20"
for both of those code fragments

1st line in setScale() function |
The line "obj = svgDocument.getElementById..." does not work.
The fix is to put this in the init() function:
if (window.svgDocument == null )
{
svgDocument = evt.target.ownerDocument;
}

The <embed> element is nonstandard. The standard <object> element should be used instead.
AUTHOR NOTE: Since the time of the book's writing, <object> has become the preferred method of including an SVG graphic in a web page.
