319447 - getSVGDocument() not implemented in <object> tag

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 287465

(Core :: SVG, enhancement)

Description

[Jonas Schneider]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5

I see that the getSVGDocument() method, which returns the containing SVGDocument object of an <embed> tag, is not implemented for the <object> tag. I think that method should be implemented for the <object> tag because it is one of the W3C-approved methods for embedding an SVG document into a HTML page, and the <embed> tag isn´t.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Check if an <object> tag DOM Equivalent has the property getSVGDocument
Actual Results:  
getSVGDocument = undefined

Expected Results:  
getSVGDocument= function() { ... }

anything wrong with using .contentDocument?

As biesi says, use .contentDocument instead. Here are a couple of demos of moz and asv compatiple scripting:
