280184 - Java scripts SVG methods and properties not supported on Mozilla ver 1.8

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: SVG, defect)

Description

[Satyajit Tripathi]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031008
Build Identifier: Mozilla 1.8

The List of the methods not working in Mozilla are
1.currentScale  
2.currentTranslate
3.getBBox


currentScale -  This is required to get the present position of the SVG and then
the value is used for zooming of the SVG graph

currentTranslate - This is required for panning of the SVG area.

getBBox() - This returns the rectangle around an object as SVGrect object. We
can then get the X and Y coordinates and also the width and height of the
rectangle and with these values perform other calculations( mainly for getting
the scroll bars).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
NOTE: website http://pilat.free.fr/english/routines/js_dom.htm gives the
information of the above properties and methods.
Actual Results:  
Whenever the browser encounters these methods it throws an error that these
methods are not valid.

Expected Results:  
These properties should return the values for 

o CurrentScale should return the scale (a number)
o currentTranslate should return the SVGpoint 
o getBBox() should return the rectangle object

there is no 1.8 (the latest version is 1.8alpha6). which version did you
actually use?

also... in the future, please file separate bugs for separate issues

Comment 3

[tor]

All three indicated methods are implemented in the current SVG code.
Build or download a current build and file bugs if you discover
problems with their implementation.
