wordsput2 example |
There are two problems that affect page 140's wordsput2 example in Google Chrome:
(1) Using viewBox="0 0 1 1" enables a bug in Chrome (versions 8.0.552 to 26.0.1410.64 m), where mouse events on elements small than ~0.5 units are not reported correctly. To avoid this problem, use viewBox="0 0 100 100" and scale the dimensions in function add(o) by x100.
(2) To retrieve the SVG object, first check for contentDocument before attempting getSVGDocument(). For example:
svgObject = document.getElementById('svgObject');
if (svgObject.contentDocument)
svgDoc = svgObject.contentDocument;
else {
try {
svgDoc = svgObject.getSVGDocument();
}
}

the masked text image/markup |
The text in the <text> element in the markup is:
"The Masked Text: it o"
but in the actual SVG the markup is;
"Some Masked Text: it outsprawls its mask"

SVG markup |
The <svg> markup does not produce the image shown
Also, to render the markup in a browser you would need the xmlns attribute of the <svg> tag.

section "Ellipses" |
1) in the image of the ellipse, the "rx" and "ry" labels are reversed.
2) in the markup "cx" and "cy" do not match the image

Table 2-1, first row, second column, third line |
The second sentence contains
HSL (e.g., "rgb(100%,50%,90%)"),%)
If SVG supports HSL, the example should be changed; otherwise the whole string could be safely removed.
