I have been reading that using the object tag to embed an SVG in a web page provides the most options for manipulation, including scripting and animation. But I can only get the code below to work if I include all of the svg code inline, versus embedding with the obj tag. Hopefully it is something siomple I am missing. Thanks in advance.
