Also you can try to use Raphaël javascript library that implement alternative SVG API and can emulate SVG in InternetExplorer 6+: http://raphaeljs.com/

From your SVG document you need to call .createSVGPoint() to create a new point (initlaized at 0,0), like this:

var p = svgRoot.createSVGPoint();

SVGPoint (the interface itself) has no constructor, that's why you're getting an error currently.
