例如有一個001.svg的圖片如下：
以記事本開啟001.svg，可以發現是以一般文字來定義圖形。

SVG可以像一般的圖片以<img>的Tag或直接內嵌到HTML5來呈現，例如下列測試的網頁TEST01.html：
<!DOCTYPE html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title>TEST SVG</title>
</head>
<body>
<img src="001.svg"></img>
<br />
<svg

結果如下圖，可以發現兩張一模一樣的圖片在測試網頁上。
因此我試著以jQuery來動態更改SVG上的文字，程式碼如下：
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<meta name="format-detection" content="telephone=no" />
<meta name="msapplication-tap-highlight" content="no" />
<!-- WARNING: for iOS 7, remove the width=device-width and height=device-height attributes. See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-4323 -->
<meta name="viewport" content="user-scalable=no, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1, minimum-scale=1, width=device-width, height=device-height, target-densitydpi=device-dpi" />
<title>Hello World</title>

//判斷瀏覽器是否支援SVG
function SVG_Check(){
SVG_NS = 'http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' ;
return !!document.createElementNS && !!document.createElementNS(SVG_NS, 'svg').createSVGRect;
