JavaScript createElementNS and SVG

Question

I want to create inline SVG graphics using Javascript.

However, it seems like createElementNS function applies some normalization and transforms all tags

Answer 1

I have just resolved a similar problem. document.createElement (and I assume document.createElementNS), when called from a HTML page creates a HTML node (where case doesnt matter), not an xml node.

The following works in Chrome:

doc = document.implementation.createDocument(null, null, null); doc.createElementNS("http://www.w3.org/2000/svg","textPath");

you will get your mixed case node.
