Menu
Given this html+svg
<div id="svg" style="width: 300px; height: 300px">
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="300" height="300">
<svg x='10' y='10' id='group'>
<rect id="rect" x='0' y='0' width='100' height='100' fill='#f0f0f0'/>
</svg>
<svg x='100' y='100' id='group2'>
<rect id="rect2" x='0' y='0' width='100' height='100' fill='#f00000'/>
<foreignobject x='0' y='0' width='100' height='100' >
<body>
<div>manual</div>
</body>
</foreignobject>
</svg>
</svg>
</div>
I'd like to insert a foreignObject into #group (preferably with jquery for it makes manipulation simpler). I've tried(code is sketchy from head)
$("#group").append("<foreignobject x='0' y='0' width='100' height='100'><body><div>auto</div></body></foreignobject>")
to no avail probably because "body" gets stripped. I've tried several exotic ways of creating the body element and the best I could - firebug doesn't grey out the inserted foreignObject element anymore but it's still not visible.
So either I'm not seeing something obvious or there's a strange way to do that.
Ideas?
Update with final solution This is the shortest of what I came up with
var foreignObject = document.createElementNS('http://www.w3.org/2000/svg', 'foreignObject' );
var body = document.createElement( 'body' ); // you cannot create bodies with .apend("<body />") for some reason
$(foreignObject).attr("x", 0).attr("y", 0).attr("width", 100).attr("height", 100).append(body);
$(body).append("<div>real auto</div>");
$("#group").append(foreignObject);

SVG is case sensitive and the element name you want is called foreignObject. To create it using the dom you would call
document.createElementNS('http://www.w3.org/2000/svg', 'foreignObject')
