changing the dimensions of the root svg element

[David Gellman <ga...@hotmail.com>]

Is there a way to change the height and width of the root svg element using 
ecmascript?

For example, let's say that I start with width="300" in the svg root 
element. Then I create a text node using ecmascript, append it to the root, 
and determine it's width with getComputedTextLength(). Is there a way for me 
to change the width of the root based on the width of the text (that is, to 
crop the document)?

Thanks.

     Have you tried 'setAttribute("width","100")' on the SVG element?

     This doesn't cause the document 'window' to resize but it should
cause the document to be clipped at the new width.
