               function showArea(event){
                  var width = parseFloat(event.target.getAttributeNS(null,"width"));
                  var height = parseFloat(event.target.getAttributeNS(null,"height"));
                  alert("Area of the rectangle is: " +width +"x"+ height);
               }
               
               function showRootChildrenCount() {
                  alert("Total Children: "+document.documentElement.childNodes.length);

Explaination

    SVG supports JavaScript/ECMAScript functions. Script block is to be in CDATA block consider character data support in XML.

    SVG elements support mouse events, keyboard events. We ve used onCpck event to call a javascript functions.

    In javascript functions, document represents SVG document and can be used to get the SVG elements.

    In javascript functions, event represents current event and can be used to get the target element on which event got raised.
