jquery's append not working with svg element?

Question

Assuming this:

Answer 1

I would suggest it might be better to use ajax and load the svg element from another page.

$('.container').load(href + ' .svg_element');

Where href is the location of the page with the svg. This way you can avoid any jittery effects that might occur from replacing the html content. Also, don't forget to unwrap the svg after it's loaded:

$('.svg_element').unwrap();
