Svg map onclick to open related url
<p>I have a svg map of Africa. If I click on a country, I want to be able to open another svg or page that has a map of that country. I have the svg images. 
I tried the following:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;style
     type="text/css"
     id="style"&gt;
        .land
        {
            clip-rule:evenodd;fill:#fefee4;fill-opacity:1;fill-rule:nonzero;stroke:#000000;stroke-width:0.40000001;stroke-miterlimit:4;stroke-dasharray:none;stroke-opacity:1;image-rendering:optimizeQuality;shape-rendering:geometricPrecision;text-rendering:geometricPrecision;
        }           
        path:hover
        {
            clip-rule:evenodd;fill:#ff9177;fill-opacity:2;fill-rule:nonzero;stroke:#000000;stroke-width:0.40000001;stroke-miterlimit:4;stroke-dasharray:none;stroke-opacity:1;image-rendering:optimizeQuality;shape-rendering:geometricPrecision;text-rendering:geometricPrecision;
        }   
    &lt;/style&gt;

&lt;script type="text/ecmascript"&gt; 
        &lt;![CDATA[
            var transMatrix = [1,0,0,1,0,0];
         function init(evt)
        {
            if ( window.svgDocument == null )
            {
                svgDocument = evt.target.ownerDocument;
            }
            mapMatrix = svgDocument.getElementById("map-matrix");
            width  = evt.target.getAttributeNS(null, "width");
            height = evt.target.getAttributeNS(null, "height");

            paths = svgDocument.getElementsByTagName("path");
            pl = paths.length;
            for(i = 0; i&lt;pl; i++)
            {
                paths[i].addEventListener('click', function()
                {
                    document.getElementById("country_name_2").firstChild.data = this.id;
                }
            );          
        }

        }

        function buttonClick(evt)
        {
            alert('Click');
        }]]&gt;

<p>These are only 2 countries out of the whole of Africa. I would like to use the onclick event and link it to the country via the id or country name, rather than having to put the Xlink around every path. This event will open the page where the countries map is.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>
