Bug 11660 – SVG: creation of <use/> elements through scripting/DOM doesn't work

• Component: SVG
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Andreas Neumann]

The dynamic creation of new <use/> elements with scripting/DOM doesn't work.

This bug is partially related to bug http://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10410 where the sliders also need dynamically created <use/> elements.

Thanks for having a look at this.

I can confirm that it works now. This is good news!

However, in the current version (latest nightly) I also have crashes, maybe as a regression to this bugfix?

If you open as an example http://www.carto.net/papers/svg/gui/checkbox_and_radiobutton/index.svg I get crashes. I'll attach the crashlog here. The crash happens if I toggle one checkbox and then toggle it again. What the script mainly does, is toggling the "display" attribute of the <use/> elements to "none" or "inline".

Hi Andreas,

good catch - I'll look into this later!
