[XML/SVG] Return variable from embedded SVG object

[TimeClypse]

I embedded a SVG object into my php page using the following code:

     <object data="../../RIMapper/XML2SVG?RIM=aamsveen_groundwaterpoints.xml&validate=on" type="image/svg+xml" width="600" height="600" align="middle">
	         <a href="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.adobe.com/svg/viewer/install/beta.html"><img[/URL] src="images/svgdownload.gif" width="600" height="600" align="middle"></a>

      </object>

I'm using the following code to return a variable, when you click the SVG object:

<FRAGMENT DBID="none" NAME="showRIMData" TYPE="ECMASCRIPT">
			function showRIMData(evt,theNS, theElem) {
				if (theNS != '') {	theElem = theNS + ":" + theElem;	}
			alert(evt.getTarget().getAttribute(theElem));
		}
		</FRAGMENT>

I don't want the alert function, but i want to POST that variable (displayed by the alert function) to another php page, which uses this for further processing.

How to manage this, so that i can POST that variable to the required php page, from within the embedded SVG?

Plug the value into a hidden form variable and submit the form to the php page.
