Re: [Caml-list] js_of_ocaml and <svg>

Indeed, It seems we are missing a Dom_svg.document function. Could you 
please open a bug report ?

However, in this case, you should use Tyxml_js. The code is going to be 
exactly the same as the one with normal tyxml, except the module is 
Tyxml_js.Html5.
You can see a complete example here:
