Remarks

Note In addition to the attributes, properties, events, methods, and styles listed above, SVG elements also inherit core HTML attributes, properties, events, methods, and styles.

The zoom event occurs when a user initiates an action that causes the current view of the SVG document (or SVGdocument fragment) to be rescaled (including any change to the svg element's currentScale property).

Note A zoom event applies only to the outermost svg element.
