Hello Cadok,

Please take a look at this example :
http://www.mecxpert.de/svg/domtree.html

It is very powerful for grabbing the current SVG DOM tree using Javascript.

HTH (hope this helps),

Hello johnfrost!
I've already used this example, but I found some trouble there
It works only while saving SVG-tree for the first time...
When I try to save again nothing changes on the display, but such coment appears:
"junk after line ..."
This means that after ending tag </svg> the script writes again <svg> and writes svg-tree again not destroying previous tree. :?
So could you pls post me some another workable samles to study and compare.
Thank for al :lol: l

Yeah, it gets tricky,

To save your changes - use postURL to send your SVG DOM content to the url of your choice. You can then grab your SVG DOM there.

Or if using Adobe SVG Viewer try this :

<?AdobeSVGViewer save="snapshot"?>
<svg onload="initiate(evt)">
<script type="text/javascript">
<![CDATA[
function initiate(evt) {
var circ = document.createElement("circle");
circ.setAttribute("cx",60);
circ.setAttribute("r",20);
document.rootElement.appendChild(circ);
}
]]>
</script>
</svg>

Of course you can also use printNode() and put result in alert to quickly verify what happened.

Let me know if you would like a more detailed example of any of these approaches.

Best,

Of course I'd like to study some more new examples.... :lol:
It preferable to have some alternative meanings of clipping into clipboard 8)

Unfortunately you can't copy directly to the OS clipboard using the standard ASV v3/v6 software. However, I have heard that this may be possible using ASV if you are using IE with a 'trusted' website. Then with ActiveX you could grab the SVG image data with something like this : window.clipboardData.setData('yourText',yourString ). But this restricts you to one specific environment.

I've also read in a post by Doug Scheppers that another option would be to install Batik on your web server:
http://xml.apache.org/batik/svgrasterizer.html
Then you can rasterize your SVG image on the server and in IE you can use script to copy this raster image to the user's clipboard.

Those are the only known options at this time.
