Chrome doesn’t work on the animation of the attribute offset for a linear gradient

Below is the code that works great in Firefox, but any attempts to animate the linear gradient's offset attribute in Chrome ended in nothing.
<svg version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"

width="50%" height="50%" viewBox="0 0 900 900" >
<defs>
<linearGradient id="bgg" x1="0" y1="0" x2="900" y2="900" gradientUnits="userSpaceOnUse">
<stop offset="0%" stop-color="dodgerblue"/>
<stop offset="52%" stop-color="white">
<animate
attributeName="offset"
values="100%;0%;100%"
dur="4s"
repeatCount="indefinite">
</animate>
</stop>
<stop offset="100%" stop-color="gold">
<animate

</stop>
</linearGradient>
</defs>
<rect x="50" y="50" width="50%" height="50%" rx="5%" fill="url(#bgg)" />

Also tried using gradientUnits =" objectBoundingBox "

</animate>
</stop>
</linearGradient>
</defs>
<rect x="50" y="50" width="50%" height="50%" rx="5%" fill="url(#bgg)" />
</svg>
Any solution to this problem will do with: SVG,css, javascript

One solution to this would be using floating numbers instead of percentages, i.e values="1;0;1" instead of values="100%;0%;100%"

Here is an idea with CSS only where you can rely on two gradients and a translation/opacity animation to approximate it. I also considered a little blur effect to have a better transition between gradient.
.box {
border-radius:20px;
width:200px;
height:200px;
position:relative;
z-index:0;
overflow:hidden;
}
.box:before,
.box:after{
content:"";
position:absolute;
bottom:0;
right:0;
width:220%;
height:220%;
animation:translate 2s infinite linear alternate;
}
.box:after {
background:
linear-gradient(to bottom right,dodgerblue 0%,white 40%,gold 60%);
animation-name:translate,show;
opacity:0;
}
.box:before {
background:
linear-gradient(to bottom right,dodgerblue,white 50%,gold 50%);
animation-name:translate,fade;
}
#keyframes translate{
from {
transform:translate(48%,48%);
}
}
#keyframes show{
30%,85% {
opacity:1;
}
}
#keyframes fade{
30%,85% {
filter:blur(8px);
}
}
<div class="box">
</div>

You can always use javascript for that:
requestAnimationFrame(animateOffsets);
// if this function called as callback of requestAnimationFrame,
// so there are first argument is the time from beginning from scene start
function animateOffsets(t) {
requestAnimationFrame(animateOffsets);
t = t%5000/5000; // will change from 0 to 1 (5 sec)
t = Math.sin(t*Math.PI*2); // will change from -1 to 1
stop1.setAttribute('offset', `${50 + t*50}%`);
}

Is the SVG def element editable

I've got an svg with a defs element, like so:
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" viewBox="0 0 250 330" onclick="tweenGloss()">

I'm appending a couple of children to this via javascript like so :
<lineargradient id="glossgrad" x1="22.3" y1="342.88" x2="227.7" y2="-12.88" gradientunits="userSpaceOnUse">
<stop offset="0" stop-color="#ff0000"></stop>
<stop offset="0.2" stop-color="#ff0000"></stop>
<stop offset="0.4" stop-color="#ff0000"></stop>
</lineargradient>
<rect x="5" y="5" width="240" height="320" style="fill: none;stroke-miterlimit: 10;stroke-width: 10px;stroke: url(#glossgrad)"></rect>
So the lineargradient "glossgrad" is being added to the defs element and the rect is being added to the svg element. My problem is, the new appended rect doesn't appear at all. However if I change the url of the rect to the original lineargradient url it appears.
So my question is, does the 'defs' element not get updated once it has had it's initial load? Is it sort of cached or something?

I don't know how you append the new linear gradient definitions and rect element. But to answer your question, there are no issues in dynamically appending new elements to svg defs and using them.
Here is a working example:
var svg = document.getElementsByTagName("svg")[0];
var svgNS = svg.namespaceURI;
createGradient(svg,'glossgrad',[
{offset:'5%', 'stop-color':'#f60'},
{offset:'95%','stop-color':'#ff6'}
]);
var rect = document.createElementNS(svgNS,'rect');
rect.setAttribute('x',60);
rect.setAttribute('y',80);
rect.setAttribute('width',50);
rect.setAttribute('height',50);
rect.setAttribute('fill','url(#glossgrad)');
svg.appendChild(rect);
function createGradient(svg,id,stops){
var grad = document.createElementNS(svgNS,'linearGradient');
grad.setAttribute('id',id);
for (var i=0;i<stops.length;i++){
var attrs = stops[i];
var stop = document.createElementNS(svgNS,'stop');
for (var attr in attrs){
if (attrs.hasOwnProperty(attr)) stop.setAttribute(attr,attrs[attr]);
}
grad.appendChild(stop);
}
var defs = svg.querySelector('defs') ||
svg.insertBefore( document.createElementNS(svgNS,'defs'), svg.firstChild);
return defs.appendChild(grad);
}

Can i create the graphical shapes objects in to the HTML5 canvas and How to show the cursor as pointer when user mouse over on the shape

Actually i want to create timeline in which there is the train of sections which user can scroll for checking, these sections are represented as a train of rectangular shapes and each such section need to have a connection to the events which is again repersented like a verticaly connected tooptips cycle.
Here i want to have there sections and events as a graphical objects such that i can show pop to the user regarding respective event information.
Is there any way to create graphical shape its object in javascript.
Also i didnt find the way to show the cursor as a pointer when user moves over that shape.

Try this circle code made using html5 svg

<stop offset="100%" style="stop-color:rgb(100,100,105);stop-opacity:1" />
</radialGradient>
<radialGradient id="grad2" cx="50%" cy="50%" r="50%" fx="50%" fy="50%">

</radialGradient>
</defs>
</svg>
</div>
</body>
</html>
<style type="text/css">
.yellow_cir:hover{ fill:url("#grad2");cursor:pointer;
}
.yellow_cir
{
fill:url("#grad1");
}
</style>

You could use a jquery plugin to generate and display a Timeline.
This might just make your work faster.

javascript + svg : get fill when it has been declared outside of a style

I want to replace a gradient for another in a svg so I need to iterate (probably recursively) over each svg item to get
I looked at the svg doc # MDN
https://developer.mozilla.org/fr/SVG/Element/ellipse
but it is broken (access denied, no exemple, lots of broken links)
and quite different of the one at MSDN
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ie/ff972071%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
so I search for any pointer on how to access fill property of a svg element however it has been defined.
something like a getComputedFill function

alert(document.defaultView.getComputedStyle(ref, null).getPropertyValue("fill"));

Apply Gradient to more than one element inside an SVG Element

I am attempting to create an arrow that looks like this using SVG elements:
This is my attempt:
As you can see the gradient gets applied to both the rect & the polygon in my SVG. Is there a way to replicate the gradient effect in the top image in my SVG?
Maybe theres a CSS way to do this? Maybe I HAVE to use a path or single polygon element to create the arrow instead of a rect & polygon?

you can "make" a single path from two shapes by grouping them then apply the gradient to the group

I used two gradients to attempt to recreate what you were trying to do. You can adjust the center of the gradient to align with the edges of the shapes:
<svg width="424" height="100">

<stop offset="100%" style="stop-color:rgb(13,20,93); stop-opacity:1" />
</radialGradient>
<radialGradient id="grad2" cx="0%" cy="50%" r="50%" fx="0%" fy="50%">
<stop offset="0%" style="stop-color:rgb(255,255,255); stop-opacity:0" />
<stop offset="100%" style="stop-color:rgb(13,20,93); stop-opacity:1" />
</radialGradient>
</defs>
