This feature is currently being implemented in Opera 9.5. Editing SVG text with Javascript is complicated and requires a lot of scripting to ensure proper user experience. 67866 2 eric 2008-01-21 12:36:40 -0800 We support editing already. :) We just don't have a way to turn it on for SVG elements. I wonder if adding the "contenteditable" attribute onto a <text> element would do the trick. :) 67869 3 hyatt 2008-01-21 13:13:36 -0800 Editing is mapped into style (-webkit-user-modify), so you can map this SVG editable attribute into that and get editing behavior. 67964 4 a.neumann 2008-01-22 12:06:07 -0800 do you mean that I can already do editable SVG text as a content-author? If so, could you post a very small example I can use to start with? 67973 5 eric 2008-01-22 12:59:53 -0800 The editing code is all HTML specific. Necessary pieces are on HTMLElement. It's not possible to enable this as a content author (yet). 383056 6 jedahu 2011-04-11 00:27:12 -0700 Any update on this? Simple editing support would be fantastic. 383135 7 eric 2011-04-11 06:20:00 -0700 http://www.w3.org/2004/CDF/TestSuite/WICD_CDR_WP1/test-event-mapping.xhtml doesn't seem to mention anything about editing anymore. Maybe I included the wrong URL in this report? 383179 8 eric 2011-04-11 08:30:48 -0700 http://www.w3.org/2004/CDF/TestSuite/WICD_CDR_WP1/test-DOM-L3-event-subset-c.xhtml is supposedly the correct test case. 383180 9 eric 2011-04-11 08:31:57 -0700 http://www.w3.org/2004/CDF/TestSuite/WICD_CDR_WP1/test-DOM-L3-event-subset-c.svg is the actual SVG with the editable=simple 1008534 10 krit 2014-05-12 05:11:43 -0700 The contenteditable attribute is the way to make this possible. Sadly it just works when it is set on an HTML root element for SVG. We should support it in SVG natively. 2174081 11 karlcow 2026-01-22 05:49:56 -0800 There is no contenteditable on the text element in SVG2. https://svgwg.org/svg2-draft/ Should this be closed? 2175078 12 zimmermann 2026-01-26 03:23:54 -0800 Do other browser support this? I think it was spec'ed in SVG 1.2, in a simple form, but not in SVG2 (or dropped, cannot remember). 2195878 13 karlcow 2026-04-01 06:35:32 -0700 I think we should close this as WONTFIX. And if it comes again, it should have a proper new bug.
