The SVGStringList interface defines a list of strings.

An SVGStringList object can be designated as read only, which means that attempts to modify the object will result in an exception being thrown.

An SVGStringList object is indexable and can be accessed like an array using bracket notation. Reading an index is equivalent to calling getItem(). Assigning to an index is equivalent to calling replaceItem(), including the exceptions it throws.

Instance properties

length Read only

numberOfItems Read only
