Clicking behind transparent SVG canvas?
Is it possible to click behind a transparent svg canvas as though the canvas was not there?For example, I have an svg tag contained inside a absolute div... The svg has large parts that are transparent (don't contain any drawing).
Behind the svg canvas is some text. The text has a javascript "click" trigger.
I would like be able to click on the text "through the transparent svg canvas" and the click trigger fire. The same goes for if it was a link or something else. Basically, I want it to act like the canvas is not there wherever the canvas is transparent (has no content).
The file is an xhtml file, with an svg tag in it. Firefox didn't let you click behind the tranparent canvas at all. Opera, lets you do some things like select text behind the transparent canvas, but links do not work.
Is it possible to do this via any other method? maybe using embed or object or image? Can HTML 5 canvas (not SVG) do this?
The only thing I know that can do this is using div tags like this: http://www.walterzorn.com/jsgraphics/jsgraphics_e.htm
It would just seem so useless to use svg in webpages, if they just end up just blocking all the content they don't cover up.
P.S. Do you all know any SVG specific forums that are not dead? (Not the yahoo mailing list, which requires a yahoo id.)
