How to assign gradient fill to SVG shape via JavaScript?

You've simply forgotten to quote the value string.

If you will tie this to linear gradient the way you do, it obviously wouldn’t work in IE. And if you don’t care about IE, then what the point to use Raphaël in the first place?

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
