title-Attribute in any SVG-Element allowed?

[lesscaffee]

hi,

well reading out the svg-reference, there is no clue saying that it is
allowed in setting the title-attribute in any svg-element (as you can
do it in html) for example:
<rect id="rect1" title="my first rect!" x="" .../>

maybe it is allowed, is it? :)

thanks for help (i'm new in svg)

best regards

Hi there,

"title" is a core SVG attribute, and to my knowledge every single SVG
element includes all core attributes,

so yes, title is available for all SVG elements.

I thought that the title was a nested element.

Whoops, yes you're right Brad, I was reading the documentation I had
wrong - it's an element - designed to be a subelement to any of the
drawing/container/text elements in SVG -

<rect ...>
<title>
my tooltip
</title>
</rect>

user agents are free to show the title in whatever way they like.

hey guys, thanks for answering...
well title is as an own element specified in SVG, not specified as an
attribute in a SVG-Element.

But every SVG-Element is also an DOM-Element, so is it possible to
define in a SVG-Element any attribute or the title attribute, even
when it is not specified in SVG, for example in doing this:

<rect id="rect1" title="my first rect!" x="" .../>

would that cause any trouble???

My understanding is that SVG can be considered "DOM-like" in web
browsers, but it isn't the same as the HTML DOM.

As SVG is just XML, it follows the same rules - that is you can add
whatever attributes you like, but it won't necessary validate when
passed through a XML validator.
