<script>

Baseline Widely available *

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.

* Some parts of this feature may have varying levels of support.

The <script> SVG element allows to add scripts to an SVG document.

Note: While SVG's script element is equivalent to the HTML <script> element, it has some discrepancies, like it uses the href attribute instead of src and it doesn't support ECMAScript modules so far (See browser compatibility below for details)

Usage context
