<script>

The SVG script element allows to add scripts to an SVG document.

While SVG's script element is equivalent to the HTML <script> element, it has some discrepancies, like it uses the href attribute instead of src and it doesn't support ECMAScript modules so far (See browser compatibility below for details)

html,body,svg { height:100% }

<svg viewBox="0 0 10 10" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
  <script>
  // <![CDATA[
  window.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {
    function getColor () {
      const R = Math.round(Math.random() * 255).toString(16).padStart(2,'0')
      const G = Math.round(Math.random() * 255).toString(16).padStart(2,'0')
      const B = Math.round(Math.random() * 255).toString(16).padStart(2,'0')
      return `#${R}${G}${B}`
    }

    document.querySelector('circle').addEventListener('click', (e) => {
      e.target.style.fill = getColor()
    })
  })
  // ]]>
  </script>

  <circle cx="5" cy="5" r="4" />
</svg>
