1424619 - svgsvgelement.checkIntersection() doesn't work

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 501421

(Core :: SVG, defect)

Description

[teo89765]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/62.0.3202.94 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

call svgnode.checkIntersection(somenode, somesvgrect) where svgnode is a javascript variable representing a <svg> node.


Actual results:

some **** error like "bla bla bla checkIntersection is not a function"


Expected results:

should work

The worst thing is that this lack of support is not documented here:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/SVGSVGElement

Under "Basic Support / Firefox" it says "yes" and there's no mention of checkIntersection() not being supported.

I've updated the document to say this (and other related methods) are not supported in Firefox.
