Javascript can be embedded in SVG much as it can be embedded in an HTML document and for similar reasons. Although SMIL [[http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/animate.html | Animation]] is the method defined in the specification for animating SVG, many developers don't want to depend on the user agent to implement SMIL so they also use [[JavascriptForAnimation|Javascript for animation]].

There are also numerous scripts in server-side languages that produce SVG output. For example [[creatingSvgUsingPhp|PHP]] , [[creatingSvgUsingPython|Python]] and [[creatingSvgUsingRuby|Ruby]] can all produce well-formed XML and therefore have no problem producing SVG.

Several common problems dealing with SVG embedded in HTML relate to reaching ''into'' the SVG document from the HTML.
