Hi,

I'm using the gnuplot svg terminal to produce some SVG. However, I'm not actually producing files, I'm dynamically generating content which is dynamically updating a web page via javascript. That means I don't have the ability to use <embed>, instead I just add a node to the DOM with the SVG.

The way the mouse javascript is done it only really works if used as a separate <embed> so that document.documentElement etc refers to only that svg. There are also some issues about clashing id's if including several svg nodes on same page without <embed>.

I can see it's not a trivial refactor to enable mouse to work in non-embed case. I wanted to ask if anyone else has this kind of use case or have thought about the use of mouse without the use of <embed> ? Any workarounds anyone can think of?

I'll see if it becomes important enough for me to try to write a patch to allow non-embed mode + multiple SVGs in the same page without ID clashes.

Thanks,
Patrik
