Important: An SVG effect must be the last effect when an object uses multiple effects; in other words, it must appear at
the bottom of the Appearance panel (just above the Transparency entry). If other effects follow an SVG effect, the SVG
output will consist of a raster object.

SVG Interactivity panel overview
You use the SVG Interactivity panel (Window > SVG Interactivity) to add interactivity to your artwork when it is
exported for viewing in a web browser. For example, by creating an event that triggers a JavaScript command, you can
quickly create movement on a web page when the user performs an action such as moving a mouse cursor over an
object. The SVG Interactivity panel also lets you see all the events and JavaScript files associated with the current file.
