It seems that a modbselect triggers a "change" in an ODB which has a hot link. This happens onload (or whenever the custom page is reloaded) and otherwise
it behaves as expected, i.e. no change unless the modbselect is actually changed. Is this the intended behaviour? can this be modified? |

You can't really embed it, but you can overlay it. You tag the SVG with a
"relative" position and then move the modbvalue with an "absolute" position over
it:
