This is currently not working (at least on Chrome and Safari, on OsX).
Console log the following:
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'documentElement' of undefined

Hi
quite new to D3, Trying to understand the syntax {} , what we are selecting here using d3.select({}) ?

From what I know, d3.select() api allows empty selections. In this case, it is being used to make use of other apis (transition, tween) which are available on selections even though it is an empty one.
