Creating an SVG DOM element from a String

Question

How would I go about creating an SVG DOM element from a String?

Example:

var svgStr = \'

Answer 1

Assuming you are using JavaScript, you can simply pass that string as the innerHTML of an existing element obtained via the DOM API:

var svg2 = "";
var container = document.getElementById("container");
container.innerHTML = svg2;
