Subject: Re: [cgmo-webcgm] DOM question
Hi All, I've attached 3 files (2 svg files and 1 html). Save all three files somewhere and open viewers.html. I'm using an SVG example since the same concept will apply for our WebCGM DOM. BTW, the wording of the spec should be changed; the 'name' attribute in xhtml has been deprecated... it has been replace with XML:ID. Therefore, to address a specific 'object', a user should be referencing the unique 'id'. One I'm not a 100% sure about this part of the wording below: "However, the specific syntax for addressing a specific CGM in an HTML page is not standardized.", in my example I know that everything after "document." is completely standardized. I just can't find where the W3C says that a global object called 'document' is the DOM entry point. Does this help?

This is the first viewer instance:
