Don't add those ugly headers,
and don't put the Javascript inside <svg>
<javascript> especially onload-functions,
belong in the <head>.

Just, as I suggested:

Add just <!DOCTYPE HTML> to the top.

Then run the Javascript as provided in the <head>

The <body> can remain empty, 
[or absent as it will be generated then]

If you hit F12 [tested Chrome, Firefox, Edge]
you can see the body will be filled by 
code like you provided.

TESTING HERE [Chrome, Firefox, Edge]:
