I am trying to append an HTML div inside an SVG, which I am trying to create a graph. I am trying to append it using the code below, but when I inspect element using Firebug, the div is shown inside rect element code, but it doesn't show up in the graph UI.

Is it something wrong with the method that I am trying or is it impossible to append a div inside an SVG?

    marker.append(rect)

   .attr(width, 50px)

   .attr(height, 50px)

   .append(div)

   .attr(id, function(d) {

      return canvas_ + d.key.split( ).join(_);

   })

   .style(width, 50px).style(height, 50px);
