ISSUE-2044: Consider improving the SVG DOM interfaces for attribute access

Consider improving the SVG DOM interfaces for attribute access

State:

RAISED

Product:

SVG 2

Raised by:

Cameron McCormack

Opened on:

2008-08-28

Description:

It'd be nice to be able to do things like:

rectElt.x = 20;

rather than having to do:

rectElt.x.baseVal.value = 20;

when assigning to simple attributes. This would be easy, with a [PutForwards] Web IDL annotation on the IDL attribute. You could also have 'rectElt.x' treated as a Number by giving the SVGAnimatedLength ES host object a custom [[DefaultValue]] internal method or by making the ES bindings put a 'valueOf' function property on the SVGAnimatedLength prototype.
