Issue
I just start learning SVG. got this example code from Manipulating SVG Documents Using ECMAScript (Javascript) and the DOM. I change it a little:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" width="300" height="300">
<script type="text/ecmascript">
<![CDATA[
function changeRectColor(evt) {
var red = Math.round(Math.random() * 255);
evt.target.setAttributeNS(null,"fill","rgb("+ red +","+ red+","+red+")");
}
]]>
</script>
<g id="firstGroup">
<rect id="myBlueRect" width="100" height="50" x="40" y="20" fill="blue" onclick="changeRectColor(evt)"/>
<text x="40" y="100">Click on rectangle to change it's color.</text>
</g>
</svg>
</body>
</html>
It works just fine. I move to separated SVG file, then js code stop working:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<object type="image/svg+xml" data="exampl3a.svg" />
<script type="text/ecmascript">
<![CDATA[
function changeRectColor(evt) {
var red = Math.round(Math.random() * 255);
evt.target.setAttributeNS(null,"fill","rgb("+ red +","+ red+","+red+")");
}
]]>
</script>
</body>
</html>
SVG file: exampl3a.svg
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.0//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-SVG-20010904/DTD/svg10.dtd">
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" width="300" height="300">
<g id="firstGroup">
<rect id="myBlueRect" width="100" height="50" x="40" y="20" fill="blue" onclick="changeRectColor(evt)"/>
<text x="40" y="100">Click on rectangle to change it's color.</text>
</g>
</svg>
what should I do?
Thanks

Solution
If you put svg into a different file, then it will be in another document, and you’ll need to bind to that document, using getSVGDocument. And yes, this will still not work in Chrome for local files (only for the website, or unless Chrome is run with corresponding command-line switch).
SVG:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.0//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-SVG-20010904/DTD/svg10.dtd">
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" width="300" height="300">
<g id="firstGroup">
<rect id="myBlueRect" width="100" height="50" x="40" y="20" fill="blue" />
<text x="40" y="100">Click on rectangle to change it's color.</text>
</g>
</svg>
HTML
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<object id='mySvg' type="image/svg+xml" data="example3a.svg" />
<script type="text/ecmascript">
function changeRectColor(evt) {
var red = Math.round(Math.random() * 255);
evt.target.setAttributeNS(null,"fill","rgb("+ red +","+ red+","+red+")");
}
var obj = document.getElementById('mySvg');
obj.addEventListener('load', function() {
var svgDoc= obj.getSVGDocument();
var elem = svgDoc.getElementById("myBlueRect");
elem.addEventListener('click', changeRectColor);
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
