This question and this question are similar, but the answers do not yield a clean, consistent method for finding the top most SVG element among different HTML strings.
The goal is to extract the top-most SVG element from a HTML string.
$(htmlString).find("svg") does not work.
$($.parseHTML(htmlString)) only generates an array of jQuery objects, but the goal is to turn the htmlString into one jQuery object where you can execute find and retrieve the top-most SVG element.
Example HTML string:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>

Result of $($.parseHTML(htmlString)), where htmlString is the string above:
$($.parseHTML(htmlString))

You cannot use find on the result because the markup you give to jQuery doesn't represent a tree: Doctype and comments nodes are siblings of your <svg>.
Thus, you need filter the jQuery entries in order to keep only the svg node:
const $svg = $(`<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- comment1 -->
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" version="1.1" id="Capa_1" x="0px" y="0px" viewBox="0 0 424 424">
<g>
<g>
<path d="M35,89C15,89,0,74,0,54s15-36,35-36h353c20,0,36,16,36,36s-16,35-36,35H35z" fill="#7c7a7d"/>
<path d="M388,176c20,0,36,16,36,36s-16,35-36,35H35c-20,0-35-15-35-35s15-36,35-36H388z" fill="#7c7a7d"/>
<path d="M388,335c20,0,36,15,36,35s-16,36-36,36H35c-20,0-35-16-35-36s15-35,35-35H388z" fill="#7c7a7d"/>
</g>
</g>
</svg>`)
.filter((i, el) => $(el).is('svg'));
console.log($svg.attr('id'));
$svg.find('path').attr('fill', 'red');
$('body').append($svg);
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
Now, you may also want to use a native DOMParser, which might be better at handling namespaces than jQuery. From there, you will have an XMLDocument, whose documentElement will be your <svg> node.
You will then be able to work on it from jQuery:
const str = `<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" version="1.1" id="Capa_1" x="0px" y="0px" viewBox="0 0 424 424">
<g>
<g>
<path d="M35,89C15,89,0,74,0,54s15-36,35-36h353c20,0,36,16,36,36s-16,35-36,35H35z" fill="#7c7a7d"/>
<path d="M388,176c20,0,36,16,36,36s-16,35-36,35H35c-20,0-35-15-35-35s15-36,35-36H388z" fill="#7c7a7d"/>
<path d="M388,335c20,0,36,15,36,35s-16,36-36,36H35c-20,0-35-16-35-36s15-35,35-35H388z" fill="#7c7a7d"/>
</g>
</g>
</svg>`;
const doc = (new DOMParser).parseFromString(str, 'image/svg+xml');
// use the second argument (context) of jQuery()
const $svg = $('svg', doc);
console.log($svg.attr('id'));
$svg.find('path').attr('fill', 'red');
$('body').append($svg);

I am loading an 404.svg at certain scenarios into a div dynamically.
The svg is getting loaded in chrome but it never does in Firefox for some reason and I haven't checked it in other browsers.
I got the svg from some free SVG providing websites and this is the inside code of svg (can't upload svg directly here stackoverflow limitation ) :

I'm trying to change the hair to blue using a button and an onclick event here:
<button class="blueButton" onclick="hair.style.fill='blue';"></button>
it does not change the color so I was wondering if anyone knew where I was going wrong with this...
Thank you!
You can't just reference the hair element. Instead, call document.getElementById('hair') to get it.
<button class="blueButton" onclick="document.getElementById('hair').style.fill='blue';">Button</button>
Here is a fiddle you can see it work in https://jsfiddle.net/679nLv3p/
You have two SVG objects with the same id hair. Remove the group one.
<g>
<path id = "hair" class = "hair" d="M107.4,276.86c-2.76-50.59,10.76-81.24,24.2-100.13C189.57,95.31,331.92,112,341.92,57.91

Working jsbin example
I want to get the content of <g> tag .
I have tried getElementsByTagName('g') but it returns all <g> in an array , I want just content of outer <g> .
Here is my svg

</g>
</svg>
Why don't you use id as the selector?
getElementsById('xe_6ipa')
To get the first group element in the SVG, you can use:
getElementsByTagName('g').item(0)
document.querySelector('g') will return the first outer instance that it finds, and returns the node instead of a NodeList.
I'm trying to figure out how to add a unique prefix to ID's and other reference links.
I have multiple identical SVGs on a page. These SVGs serve as a wrapper (they're devices - laptop, phone, etc.) which have image link that is inserted into the SVG after load. The problem is, the ID's for these svgs are identical so they all conflict with each other. What I'm trying to do (but am open to better solutions) is to insert a unique ID to each id,xlink:href, url(#, etc. but pass over the <image> href attribute and fill and stroke attributes.
EDIT: I added/tweaked the code provided by #Temani, which got me closer to my desired result, however, I'm now getting all the ID's added to each SVG element. Formatted the code to be executable.
Desired output:
<div class="device" data-screen="[[IMAGE TO USE]]" data-name"[[UNIQUE ID]]">
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" width="635" height="420" viewBox="0 0 635 420">
<defs>
<path id="[[UNIQUE ID]]-path-1"/>
<rect id="[[UNIQUE ID]]-path-3" />
<pattern id="[[UNIQUE ID]]-pattern-4">
<use transform="scale(13.1875)" xlink:href="#[[UNIQUE ID]]-image-5"/>
</pattern>
<image id="[[UNIQUE ID]]-image-5" href="[[IMAGE LINK THAT IS INSERTED AFTER LOAD]]"/>
</defs>
<g fill="none" fill-rule="evenodd">
<rect fill="#fff" stroke="#2D8EFF" />
<g >
<mask id="[[UNIQUE ID]]-mask-2" fill="#fff">
<use xlink:href="#[[UNIQUE ID]]-path-1"/>
</mask>
<g mask="url(#[[UNIQUE ID]]-mask-2)">
<mask id="mask-6" fill="#fff">
<use xlink:href="#[[UNIQUE ID]]-path-3"/>
</mask>
</g>
</g>
</g>
</svg>
</div>
Right now - both ID's (first and second) gets added to each SVG element. I also
$('.device').each(function() {
//we get the needed id using $(this) that refer to actual device
var id = $(this).data('name');
//we check all the element with ID
$(this).find("path, rect, pattern, image, mask").each(function() {
//now (this) refer to the actual element
if($(this).attr("id"))
$(this).attr("id", id+"-"+$(this).attr("id"));
});
//we update the <use>
$(this).find("use").each(function() {

The issue is that you don't have to use $('.device') when inside and you need to refer to $(this) and since you have 2 each() nested you need to pay attention to the scope of this.
$('.device').each(function() {
//we get the needed id using $(this) that refer to actual device
var id = $(this).data('name');
//we check all the element with ID
$(this).find("path, rect, pattern, image, mask").each(function() {
//now (this) refer to the actual element
if($(this).attr("id"))
$(this).attr("id", id+"-"+$(this).attr("id"));
});
//we update the <use>
$(this).find("use").each(function() {
//now (this) refer to the actual element
$(this).attr("xlink:href","#"+id+"-"+$(this).attr("xlink:href").substring(1));
});
// grab data-screen value
var data = $(this).data('screen');
// replace this with the link inside svg
if (data != '') {
$(this).find("svg defs image").attr("href", data).attr("xlink:href", data);
}
});

I am creating a custom map that is drawn in an SVG. I want to add a polygon to this map,
however after adding the polygon it is not drawn. If I paste the complete page into an .html file and open it, it does show (http://peterelzinga.eu/map/test.html).
The code for adding the polygon to my SVG:
var svg = file_get_contents("18/135160/86183.svg");
var parser = new DOMParser();
var data = parser.parseFromString(svg, "text/xml");
data = data.firstChild;
console.log(data);
data.setAttribute ("x", d);
data.setAttribute ("y", e);
document.getElementById('front').appendChild(data);
The SVG element after adding the polygon:
<svg id="map" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" version="1.1" width="512" height="512">
<g id="back">
<image xlink:href="12/2110/1345.png" x="0" y="0" width="256" height="256"></image>
</g>
<g id="front">
<g width="256" height="256" x="0" y="0">
<polyline fill="#FFFFFF" stroke="#000000" stroke-miterlimit="10" points="256,85.333 209,100.667 230.334,158.334 143,194.334 160.667,248.667 221.667,223.667 256,241.334 " onclick="alert('St Jansdal')"></polyline>
</g>
</g>
</svg>
Does anyone know why this happens?
From Mozilla docs: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/DOMParser
You should specify the content type as "image/svg+xml" to get a SVGDocument.
The problem is that your generated nodes are not SVG nodes, but XML nodes.
I had a similar problem solved by switching from createElement to createElementNS. See answer: jquery's append not working with svg element?
Why the above won't work is still a mistery to me. However, i did manage to resolve the problem by using the following solution:
The javascript function to load and add an new svg element - which contains our polyline - to the main element:
var api = new XMLHttpRequest;
api.open("GET", a+"/"+b+"/"+c+".svg", false);
api.send("");
if( api.status == 200 ) {
var parser = new DOMParser();
var data = parser.parseFromString(api.responseText, "text/xml");
data = data.firstChild;
console.log(data);
data.setAttribute("x", d);
data.setAttribute("y", e);
document.getElementById('front').appendChild(data);
}
Now instead of only having the polyline element in the .svg file, I have put a complete svg element in the file:
<svg version="1.1" id="Layer_1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" x="0px" y="0px"
width="256px" height="256px" viewBox="0 0 256 256" enable-background="new 0 0 256 256" xml:space="preserve">
<polyline fill="#FFFFFF" points="0,97 45,81.333 51.667,100.667 13.667,117.333 31,164 142.167,119.5 127.167,75.001
172.667,53.341 152.5,0 0,0 "/>
</svg>
And this does work. By setting the X and Y values of the I can position the svg in the correct spot so the polyline is drawn in the right place.
The endresult:
<svg id="map" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" version="1.1" width="512" height="512">
<g id="back">
<image xlink:href="18/135160/86183.png" x="0" y="0" width="256" height="256"></image>
<image xlink:href="18/135161/86183.png" x="256" y="0" width="256" height="256"></image>
<image xlink:href="18/135160/86184.png" x="0" y="256" width="256" height="256"></image>
<image xlink:href="18/135161/86184.png" x="256" y="256" width="256" height="256"></image>
