(UPDATED) I'm having some issues regarding svg and javascript. What I want to create is a series of circles on top of one another, with their radius (r) values increasing by one each time the loop goes round, so that it creates some sort of a pattern. Here is what I have so far(for loop values are from another forum post, I would rather do it with a while loop that would execute 10 times) -

Any help out there?
Thanks.
Ok, so this is, what I had to fix in order to get your code working:
You append to the circle element, but should append to the svg-container. A circle element has no child elements.
You did not set any styles for the circles, so they were transparent.
The coordinates in a circle element are called cx and cy instead of x and y.
The <defs> element should be a child of the <svg> element. Also everything within it wont be rendered.
JavaScript
var svgns = "http://www.w3.org/2000/svg",
container = document.getElementById( 'cont' );
for (var x = 0; x < 500; x += 50) {
for (var y = 0; y < 300; y += 50) {
var circle = document.createElementNS(svgns, 'circle');
circle.setAttributeNS(null, 'cx', x);
circle.setAttributeNS(null, 'cy', y);
circle.setAttributeNS(null, 'r', 50);
circle.setAttributeNS(null, 'style', 'fill: none; stroke: blue; stroke-width: 1px;' );
container.appendChild(circle);
}
}
HTML
<svg id="cont" height="1000" width="1000" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
<circle id="cir1" cx="300" cy="300" r="40" stroke="yellow" stroke-width="" fill="none" />
</svg>
Example Fiddle
I also adjusted your sizes as for a mere test, they were quite big.

About half way down on the following site there is an image of a house with SVG animations and hotspots.
https://enphase.com/en-us/homeowners
I see all the individual elements but I don't understand how the they put it all together. The elements are positioned using percentages to 5 decimal places. I'm assuming they used some software to create the SVGs put more importantly, the layout. Any idea what that software is? There is now way they hand coded the layout and calculated the positioning.
You can have the same functionality using SVG stroke-dasharray and stroke-dashoffset attributes mainipulation with javascript animation timers, I usually use D3.js to do this type of animation/SVG manipulation, but you can also do it purely in javascript, here is a block example by Noah Veltman on bl.ocks.org:

SVG elements are from a different namespace than typical HTML elements. An HTML document can mix tags from different XML dialects, for example XHTML, which are the standard HTML elements, but also different dialects as well, like the SVG namespace. In order to create the right element from the correct namespace you need to use a different JavaScript method that lets you specify the namespace:
document.createElementNS(namespace, element);
The first argument is the namespace so you should use: "http://www.w3.org/2000/svg", and the second is the element, in this case "circle". So try:
var node = document.createElementNS("http://www.w3.org/2000/svg", "circle");
If you're more interested, check out MDN docs:

#gdanielyan's answer is a good answer. Here is a demo:

const circle = new Circle("node", 100, 100, 50, color[0]);
var node = document.createElementNS("http://www.w3.org/2000/svg","circle");
node.setAttributeNS(null,"id", "node");
node.setAttributeNS(null,"cx", circle.posx + Math.random()*100);
node.setAttributeNS(null,"cy", circle.posy + Math.random()*100);

I am creating an editor.
I would like the basic functions on my objects which are rotate/resize and translate.
I've managed to do the three of them but the only problem is now my mouse position doesn't follow the control points (the problem gets even worst for the other control points not shown below)..
You'll find below an example for the right middle resize with a rotation angle of 30 degrees with no mouseY position, note that the mouse follows perfectly my control point when the rotation angle equals 0.
Is there a way easily solve this problem, am I going the wrong way?
Here's the jsfiddle link where you can change the rotate angle in the code to see by yourself JSiddle link. (Just click and drag the black control point to resize the object)
//convert value of range amin to amax to the range bmin to bmax;
function imap(value, amin, amax, bmin, bmax)
{
if ((amax - amin))
return (value - amin) * (bmax - bmin) / (amax - amin) + bmin;
return (0);
};
//get mouse coordinates from the SVG element
function getMouse(el, e)
{
var pt = el.createSVGPoint();
pt.x = e.clientX;
pt.y = e.clientY;
var cursorpt = pt.matrixTransform(el.getScreenCTM().inverse());
return({x: cursorpt.x, y: cursorpt.y})
};
var controlPoint = document.getElementById("c"); //My control point element
var mouseX;
var mouseXClicked = 0;
var scaleX = 1;
var scaleY = 1;
var scaleXClicked = 1;
var control = false; // sets if resizeRightMiddle() should be executed
var rectWidth = 100; //is normally tooken with a getBBox() function
var scale = document.getElementById("scale");
function resizeRightMiddle()
{
//convert difference between original mouse X postion on click and actual X mouse position into a scale factor
plusX = imap(mouseX - mouseXClicked, 0, rectWidth, 0, 1);
//add converted scale factor to the original x scale value
resX = scaleXClicked + plusX;
scale.setAttribute('transform', 'scale(' + resX + ',' + scaleY + ')');
scaleX = resX;
}
var svg = document.getElementById("main");
// save Scale and X mouse coordinate on click
svg.addEventListener("mousedown", function(e){
var coord = getMouse(svg, e);
mouseXClicked = coord.x;
scaleXClicked = scaleX;
});
svg.addEventListener("mousemove", function(e){
//get mouse coordinates
var coord = getMouse(svg, e);
mouseX = coord.x;
// resize if control element has been clicked
if (control)
resizeRightMiddle();
});
// desactivate resize
svg.addEventListener("mouseup", function(e){
control = false;
});
//activate resize
controlPoint.addEventListener("mousedown", function(){
control = true;
});

The code below calculates how much the mouse moves in the direction of the rectangle's orientation on each mousemove event, instead of from the beginning of the mousedown to the current mousemove. It then updates updatedRectWidth and uses that to calculate the current desired scale.
var controlPoint = document.getElementById("c");
var control = false;
var origRectWidth = 100;
var scale = document.getElementById("scale");
var relevantMouseMoveDist = 0;
var updatedRectWidth = origRectWidth;
var mouseDownPt = {};
var rotateDiv = document.getElementById("rotate");
var rotateString = rotateDiv.getAttribute('transform');
var rectangleAngle = parseInt(rotateString.slice(rotateString.indexOf("(") + 1)) * Math.PI / 180; // retrieve the angle from the DOM
var relevantMouseMoveDist;
var newMousePosn;
var oldMousePosn;
function resizeRightMiddle()
{
updatedRectWidth += relevantMouseMoveDist;
xScale = updatedRectWidth/origRectWidth;
scale.setAttribute('transform', 'scale(' + xScale + ',1)');
}
var svg = document.getElementById("main");
svg.addEventListener("mousemove", function(e){
if (newMousePosn) {
// the former mouse pos'n
oldMousePosn = {x: newMousePosn.x, y: newMousePosn.y};
// the new mouse pos'n
newMousePosn = {x: e.clientX, y: e.clientY};
// the change in the mouse pos'n coordinates since the last move event
var deltaMouseMove = {
x: newMousePosn.x - oldMousePosn.x,
y: newMousePosn.y - oldMousePosn.y
};
// the dir'n of this movement
var angleOfMouseMovement = Math.atan2(deltaMouseMove.y, deltaMouseMove.x);
// the absolute distance the mouse has moved
var mouseMoveDist = Math.sqrt(
deltaMouseMove.x * deltaMouseMove.x +
deltaMouseMove.y * deltaMouseMove.y
);
// the difference in direction between the mouse movement and orientation of the rectangle
var angleDifference = angleOfMouseMovement - rectangleAngle;
// the portion of the mouse movement that is in the direction of the rectangle's orientation
relevantMouseMoveDist = mouseMoveDist * Math.cos(angleDifference);
// resize the rectangle if necessary
if (control) resizeRightMiddle();
} else {
// establish the mouse pos'n during the first mousemove event
newMousePosn = {x: e.clientX, y: e.clientY};
}
});
svg .addEventListener("mouseup" , function(e){control = false;});
controlPoint.addEventListener("mousedown", function(e){control = true ;});

Is there any way i can drag an SVG element over another SVG element? I tried but like in this tutorial i can only drag the one i placed the second over the first one. There is no way i can drag first one over the second without problems.
Does anyone know how to solve this?
Here is the whole tutorial: http://www.petercollingridge.co.uk/book/export/html/437
I was writing it before I saw that #Strat-O gave you the same approach.
So here is a commented example of that :

// make a copy of this node
var el = oldEl.cloneNode(true);
// select all draggable elements, none of them are at top anymore
var dragEls= oldEl.ownerDocument.documentElement.querySelectorAll('.draggable');
for(i=0; i<dragEls.length; i++){
dragEls[i].atTop=null;
}
var parent = oldEl.parentNode;
// remove the original node
parent.removeChild(oldEl);
// insert our new node at top (last element drawn is first visible in svg)
parent.appendChild(el);
// Tell the world that our new element is at Top
el.atTop= true;
return el;
}
function selectElement(evt) {
selectedElement = cloneToTop(evt.target);

Unfortunately, there is only one way to make an element appear in front of another element in SVG and that is to remove the lower element then turn around and redraw it. There is no z-index or other helpful attribute that you can set. I spent a bit of time on this and that is my conclusion.
There is one upside and that is by removing and redrawing it, it ensures that the display order of all of the elements is maintained whereas if you have to maintain z-indexes, managing the numbers can cause its own set of issues.
The code below should generate 100 random rectangles. But its not working. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong??

<script type="text/javascript">
function rectan()

var svgns = "http://www.w3.org/2000/svg";
for (var i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
var x = Math.random() * 5000,
y = Math.random() * 3000;
var rect = document.createElementNS(svgns, 'rect');
rect.setAttributeNS(null, 'x', x);
rect.setAttributeNS(null, 'y', y);
rect.setAttributeNS(null, 'height', '50');
rect.setAttributeNS(null, 'width', '50');
rect.setAttributeNS(null, 'fill', '#'+Math.round(0xffffff * Math.random()).toString(16));
document.getElementById('svgOne').appendChild(rect);
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="rectan"();">

All it does is one black rectangle form SVG section. I know that I made a mistake somewhere, but I don't know where.
There seems to be an extraneous double qouote in the onload attribute. You want this...
<body onload="rectan();">
