I created a svg chart, I added a tooltip that shows the corresponding value when the mouse hovers.
The problem is, since the path is rendered after the bars are created, then the tooltip is show behind the path http://take.ms/lljq3. what I need is that the tooltip is always in front of everything.
I try to add z-index:-1; position: relative; to the path and z-index:999; position: fixed; to the text but is not working.
See the example here: https://jsfiddle.net/sgcw8btx/
When creating svg elements, following rule applys:
3.3 Rendering Order
Elements in an SVG document fragment have an implicit drawing order, with the first elements in the SVG document fragment getting "painted" first. Subsequent elements are painted on top of previously painted elements.
Isn't it possible to place the tooltip element before the bar / line?
Otherwise you could try using use?
<use xlink:href="#id" />
And you could try to embed the HTML directly:
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<g transform="translate(20,30)">
<rect width="200" height="150"/>
<foreignObject width="200" height="150">
<body xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<div>
Hello, <b>World</b>!
</div>
</body>
</foreignObject>
</g>
</svg>

I have a triangle shaped SVG file that I'm trying to make change colors when hovered over, as well as be a clickable link. When I hover over it, it does exactly that, however since it is not a rectangle, the empty space is also triggering the hover function, even though the svg is not being hovered over directly.
Is there a way to make the invisible space not trigger the hover?
Is that an SVG specific limitation?
And if this can be resolved, is it the same resolution if the image was a png and not an svg?
The <svg> will always take up a square space on the HTML page.
In this example the parent element of the <path> is an anchor element and the hover style is on the <path>.
path:hover {
fill: orange;
}
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 6 5" width="200">
<a href="#">
<path fill="navy" d="M 3 0 L 0 5 L 6 5 Z"/>
</a>
</svg>
I am fairly new to SVG but how can I display a SVG icon and change its color using inline CSS? For example, if I wanted to change the color of example.svg to #FFF000 how would I do that?
I tried searching online but I couldn't find anything.
collinksmith did answer your question but didn't explain that you cannot change the colour of a .svg file with CSS. You need to add the SVG inline then you can apply CSS to it.
You need to use the fill property of the svg's path. Assuming an svg html element, with a class set on the svg element itself:
.class-name path {
fill: red;
}
EDIT Here's an example: https://jsfiddle.net/4447zb7o/
EDIT 2 To set the css inline, change the style attribute of the path element inside the svg:
<svg class="my-svg" height="210" width="400">
<path style="fill: green" d="M150 0 L75 200 L225 200 Z" />
</svg>
I'm unsure of the proper markup to structure, select, and style individual SVG instances called from a common inline SVG "template" within an HTML file.
<!-- first instance to style -->
<svg id="instance1" viewBox="0 0 799.9 177.8">
<use xlink:href="#template">
</svg>
<!-- second instance, want different styles -->
<svg id="instance2" viewBox="0 0 799.9 177.8">
<use xlink:href="#template">
</svg>
In my SVG template, I have a group <g> of several paths, each of which is given a class name. I've given that SVG group an id of template, and am calling instances of it.
<!-- first instance to style -->
<svg id="instance1" viewBox="0 0 799.9 177.8">
<use xlink:href="#template">
</svg>
<!-- second instance, want to apply different styles -->
<svg id="instance2" viewBox="0 0 799.9 177.8">
<use xlink:href="#template">
</svg>
Now I'm attempting to select/style elements these instances in CSS as follows (though this syntax doesn't work!):
/* want to style each instance differently */
#instance1 .outline {
fill: red;
}
#instance2 .outline {
fill: green;
}
I assume this is easy, but I can't figure out the correct way to select/style these individual SVGs that <use> a common set of paths.
Any ideas? Thanks!
Code snippet available for review at http://codepen.io/edhebert/pen/GgmKOo
Contents of <use> are cloned into a shadow DOM and hence cannot be directly selected and styled using CSS the normal straightforward way that we know.
Before going further,note that you can apply styles to the contents of a <use> element by applying the styles to the <use> itself. For example, by doing this:
<svg id="instance1" viewBox="0 0 799.9 177.8">
<use xlink:href="#template" fill="maroon">
</svg>
.. the descendants of <use> will inherit the fill color from the <use> element. But all descendants will inherit this color.
If you want to apply a specific color to only one element inside <use>, for example, another technique can be used. This technique is, however, currently limited.
The technique works by taking advantage of the CSS currentColor variable. Fabrice Weinberg wrote about this technique in this blog post over at Codepen.
Basically, if you have an SVG element that you want to reuse, instead of specifying a fill color inside the "template" on each path, you do this instead:
<g>
<path fill="currentColor" d="..." />
</g>
And then, in your CSS, you can specify the color that you want, knowing that this color will be applied to the above path—because this is how currentColor works.
use#instance1 {
fill: deepPink; /* will be inherited by contents of `use` */
color: #eee; /* will be inherited by the path element */
}
Someone else took this technique further by using user-defined CSS variables to do the exact same thing. You can read about it here. The CSS variables technique is the same as Weinberg's technique, except that you can define as many variables as you want, use them inside your template, and then specify their values in your CSS—these values will then be used by these variables wherever you have defined them inside the template.
This technique works, but CSS variables are currently only supported in Firefox—so I don't suppose you would use it in production.
Hope this helps.
I'm trying to code a navigation using irregular (non-rectangle) buttons. The edges overlap each other on the Y axis so I'm not sure how to do this in HTML/CSS. I could use an imagemap but would rather not. Can someone please point me in the right direction? Thanks! (I included the image link here):
Sample Navigation Image
Here are some options:
Use a single image with an image map
Use overlaid divs that have CSS rotate transforms applied. Add click handlers to these divs.
Use SVG shapes and apply links to them. I've added an example.
Demonstration: http://jsfiddle.net/Phu5x/
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" version="1.1">
<a xlink:href="/svg/index.html">
<polygon points="15,10 95, 10 85, 30 5, 30"
style="fill: red; stroke: black;"/>
</a>
</svg>
If you want mouse over effects, try a single transparent PNG image with an image map. Put the event handlers on the <area> elements, if you need support for older IEs.
I wonder if it's possible to apply svg filter to clipped html content. All demos I found have clipping and filtering separate.
Here's an example: http://jsfiddle.net/B7593/1/. I want the yellow circle to drop a shadow.
Tried adding filter=url('#dropshadow') / style='filter:url(#dropshadow)' to circle / clipPath / div elements, but none of these worked.
I don't think you can do it the way you're approaching it - even if you could make the shadow a part of the clip, you wouldn't see it when you applied the clip because none of the colour is retained, just the opacity of the pixels is used to determine what shows through. What will work (in Firefox at least), is to apply both the clip and the filter to content within the SVG like this:
<g filter="url(#dropshadow)">
<foreignObject width="300" height="300" clip-path="url(#c1)">
<body>
<div id="target"></div>
</body>
</foreignObject>
</g>
Here's a full example.
