Get content of loaded SVG file












0














I have made function that will load to specific div svg file from url:



function load_vector(divId, vector_url) {
var div = $(divId);

div.load(vector_url);

console.log(div.find('svg').html());
}


I call this function like this:



load_vector("#myDiv", "/path/to/vector/file.svg");


It successfully loads svg file to this div and now I have it as html in my page.



However I can't get contents of this svg file



console.log(div.find('svg').html());


This returns undefined.



Whad did I miss?

          Need to wait until the load process is complete (it is async). Wrap your console.log inside a callback function. Something like:



          div.load(vector_url, function() {
          console.log(div.find('svg').html());
          });
