SVGElement: load event

Limited availability

This feature is not Baseline because it does not work in some of the most widely-used browsers.

The load event fires on an SVGElement when it is loaded in the browser, e.g., in the DOM in the case of an embedded <svg>. It is basically the same as the standard load DOM event.

This event is not cancelable and does not bubble.

Syntax

Use the event name in methods like addEventListener(), or set an event handler property.

js
addEventListener("load", (event) => { })

onload = (event) => { }

Event type

A generic Event.

Examples

js
svgElem.addEventListener("load", () => {
  console.log("SVG loaded.");
});
