Reply To: Linking SVG symbols

[EverDude]

I see this post: https://css-tricks.com/a-complete-guide-to-svg-fallbacks/#stuff-about-icons-systems

where they do:

<svg class="icon">
<a></a>
<use xlink:href="#svg-status" />
</svg>

but that just creates an empty link, which is bad accessibility and what I am trying to avoid.

also if i wrap the a tag around use inside of the svg, it doesn’t work on FF or chrome. as seen here:
