Why don't links to SVG elements work in mozilla firefox?

Question

HTML

Hello, _<_a href"#"_><_/a_>_ images assigned to SVG elements in mozilla firefox do not work.
Links open normally in other browsers (opera and google chrome)

Answer 1

Because you spell them wrong. You write them using the HTML markup language, while SVG documents use the XML markup language. In this case, you are missing a namespace. It is correct to write like this:

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
  <a xlink:href="//google.com">
    <text x="0" y="0">Google</text>
  </a>
</svg>

It is very wrong that WebKits correct your mistakes for you. But Mozilla is a hammer.
