Create a table in SVG

rated 0 times [ 161] [ 6] / answers: 1 / hits: 48535 / 13 Years ago, mon, august 8, 2011, 12:00:00

I'm trying to create a table-like object within an SVG document. Currently, due to the fact that SVG does not have a table element, I am using an HTML parser to go through and convert an HTML table, (created by the user in an HTML table Builder), to a group of SVG objects, and then adding that to my overall SVG drawing. I was wondering if any one was able to find a better alternative to this method, such as an SVG table builder? I'm looking to accomplish this using Javascript or jquery. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

I would simply embed a real table in my SVG:

<?xml version=1.0 standalone=yes?>

<svg xmlns=http://www.w3.org/2000/svg>

  <foreignObject x=10 y=10 width=100 height=150>

    <body xmlns=http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml>

      <table><!-- ... --></table>

    </body>

  </foreignObject>

  <!-- ... -->

</svg>
