The id
attribute assigns a unique name to an element.
All elements are using this attribute.
<svg width="120" height="120" viewBox="0 0 120 120" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"> <style type="text/css"> <![CDATA[ #smallRect { stroke: #000066; fill: #00cc00; } ]]> </style> <rect id="smallRect" x="10" y="10" width="100" height="100" /> </svg>
Usage notes

- <id>

Specifies the element's ID. The ID must be unique within the node tree, must not be an empty string, and must not contain any whitespace characters.
Note: You should avoid the use of
id
values that would be parsed as an SVG view specification (e.g.,MyDrawing.svg#svgView(viewBox(0,200,1000,1000))
) or a basic media fragment when used as a URL target fragment.It must be valid in XML documents. A stand-alone SVG document uses XML 1.0 syntax, which specifies that valid IDs only include designated characters (letters, digits, and a few punctuation marks), and do not start with a digit, a full stop (.) character, or a hyphen-minus (-) character.
