What is jQuery for Document.createElementNS()?
function emleGraphicToSvg(aGraphicNode) {
var lu = function luf(aPrefix){
switch (aPrefix){
case 'xhtml': return 'http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml';
case 'math': return 'http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML';
case 'svg': return 'http://www.w3.org/2000/svg';
}
return '';
};
var svg = document.evaluate("svg:svg",
aGraphicNode, lu, XPathResult.FIRST_ORDERED_NODE_TYPE, null).
singleNodeValue;
$(svg).children().remove();
rect = document.createElementNS(lu('svg'), "rect");
rect.setAttribute("x", "35");
rect.setAttribute("y", "25");
rect.setAttribute("width", "200");
rect.setAttribute("height", "50");
rect.setAttribute("class", "emleGraphicOutline");
svg.appendChild(rect);
}
The code is a simplified fragment from Emle - Electronic Mathematics Laboratory Equipment JavaScript file emle_lab.js.
The Look-Up-Function, luf(), maps a complete reference to a shorten name for the namespace in the XPath string and createElementNS(). The existing svg:svg is located, removed and replaced by a new rectangle.
