I am trying to work out why the code below no-longer works in Firefox or Chrome.
The files were last modified over ten years ago.
The static svg dispays, but the script does not run. To my considerable surprise, it does work as it should in Edge, as does a more complicated diagram with interactive elements.
There is probably some obscure setting I need to doctor in Firefox, but I don't know where to look. I don't know when I last tried one of these files, but I would be fairly sure they still worked a couple of years ago.
The code is probably full of daftnesses, as I have done very little javascript, and I probably should now be using requestanimationframe, but that is not the point - it has worked, and still does in Edge.
(Question edited to remove link to irrelevant SMIL version of the animation.)
