<svg id="svg1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" >

     </a>
     </g>
 </svg>

How should i get attribute into my application(html) and append href link to it using javascript. Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Get a reference to the <a> element using whichever method you choose. For example

 <a id="mylink" xlink:href="" target="_top">
   <path id="parcel" />
 </a>

var  mylink = document.getElementById("mylink");

Then you can set the xlink:href attribute using:

mylink.setAttributeNS('http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink', 'xlink:href',
                      'http://www.google.com');
