It is now clearly stated that this is for the outermost tag only:

SVGResize Occurs when a document view is being resized. This event is only applicable to outermost svg elements and is dispatched after the resize operation has taken place. The target of the event is the ‘svg’ element.

SVGResize events bubble but are not cancelable.
 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open doc.
Will see a JS alert
2.Resize window
3.Should see a 2nd JS alert if successful, however, FF fails.
Actual Results:  
Only 1 JS alert

Expected Results:  
2 JS alerts

This is different than the bug whereby setting the onresize on the outermost svg tag directly fails.  In this bug, I try setting it by script using addEventHandler.

Some browsers such as IE8 w/Adobe SVG correctly implement this.

Some browsers like Chrome allow setting onresize directly but not via script.  So really, these are 2 different bugs.

addEventHandler and onload are basically the same thing in Gecko. Once one is imnplemented the other will just work. It's quite possible Chrome is different in that regard.

I meant onresize rather than onload of course.
