Hello everyone,

i 'm drawing some svg's Shape dynamically inside a <g id="Dessiner">. My problem is that when i am recording the shapes i need to do it in a group.Otherwise when i try to open this file only the first shape appear. Does anyone know how to record my file without adding a group? When i open my file i would like <g id="Dessiner"> to be the first parent.

Thanks in advance, s?bastien.

You can record your shapes in a group ( I think that you use ASV 6 ... to get this problem ) and when you open your file, after parsing content, you add only childs to your group "Dessiner". You will retrieve your shapes as childs of "Dessiner".

Hello Michel,

No i am not working with asv6 yet. I have tried to do what you told to, but i have difficulties to succeed.Here's my code:

Dess = svgdoc.getElementById("Dessiner");

if(data.success)
{
var Long=data.content.length;
message=data.content.substring(4,Long-4);
//message=data.content.getChildNodes;alert(message);
new_node =parseXML(data.content, document);
Dess.appendChild(new_node);
}

messge is the data.content without the <g> and </g>. That is what i would like , but if i put it instead of data.content; only my first group will appear.

Do you have any idea?

Thanks in advance, s?bastien.

When you parse, you get many elements and append only first ...
If you parse data.content, you get your group and have to append all childs
You can use that :
if (data.success)
{
var doc_frag = parseXML ( data.content, document);
childs=doc_frag.childNodes
number=childs.length
for (i=0;i<number;i++)
{
child=childs.item(i)
Dess.appendChild (child)
}
}

Michel, it is not working yet. When i do an alert on my clipboard content, i can see two <g> and </g>.

here is my code for the clipboard and your code to read the file.

function Clipboard()
{
shapes = Dess.childNodes;
Compteur = shapes.length;

if(top.clipboardData)
{
NewSVG ="";

for(i=0; i<Compteur; i++)
{
NewSVG +=printNode(shapes.item(i));
}

NewSVG='<g>'+NewSVG+'</g>';
top .clipboardData.setData("Text", NewSVG);
alert(NewSVG);
}
else alert("Vous devez creer des objets pour pouvoir utiliser cette fonction");
}

function Importer(reponse)
{
//reponse=prompt("Choisissez un fichier");
getURL("Dossier Perso\\"+reponse+".svg", fileLoaded);
}

function fileLoaded(data)
{
if(data.success)
{

new_node =parseXML(data.content, document);

var nouv=new_node.childNodes;
compte=nouv.length;

for(i=0; i<compte; i++)
{
child=nouv.item(i);
Dess.appendChild(child);
}
}
else
{
alert('Loading has failed');
}
}

Thanks, a plus s?bastien.

To save your group, make only :

function Clipboard()
{
if(top.clipboardData)
{
NewSVG=printNode(Dess)
alert(NewSVG);
}
else alert("Vous devez creer des objets pour pouvoir utiliser cette fonction");
}

The problem now is that everytime i am recording on a saved file, i am saving an other time <g id="Dessiner">.

Where is the problem ?
Change id or remove it before saving.
When you record on existing file, arrange your objects with server language.

Michel

In fact i am arranging everything in my function Clipboard, not on the server side, and it seems to work.
