SVG Set Tag MDN

  1. document.body.innerHTML = `
  2. click the rounded rect<br>
  3. <svg viewBox="0 0 10 10" width="150" height="150">
  4.   <style>
  5.     rect { cursor: pointer }
  6.     .round { rx: 5px; fill: green; }
  7.   </style>
  8.  
  9.   <rect id="me" width="10" height="10" rx="3">
  10.     <set attributeName="class" to="round" begin="me.click" dur="2s" />
  11.   </rect>
  12. </svg>
  13. `

This is from MDN. Having never seen or used the set tag before, I thought this was worth a quick post…
