Import group nodes from other files

[Strapz <st...@tiscali.it>]

Hi all, I have a question;
If I have 2 SVG file, first.svg and second.svg, how can I import on
second.svg a group node of first.svg working with Documents at runtime,
make attention to style sheets?

Is it possible? Thanks

Use Document2.importNode(GroupNodeFromSVG1, true), to clone the first 
document
'under' the new document.  Then just append the result where you
want it in the parent document.

In regards to stylesheets, it is your responsibility to make sure that 
both documents share a compatible sheet. If you are certain that both 
documents do not have colliding stylesheets and do not share any style 
class names, you may import the style element from the second SVG to 
the first before you import the node. The style element is represented 
in the DOM by a SVGStyleElement and you can get to it by doing a 
svgDoc.getElementByTagName("style") [Note: i have not tested that this 
actually works]
