check for flash 8

[check for flash 8]

There is a need to update the Fusioncharts Javascript class (the one derived from SWFobject) to test for Flash 8 when using fusioncharts 3. Is there a newer version that does this, to prevent a blank area, or has anyone patched the infosoftglobal.FusionCharts class to deal with this issue ?

[setDataXML not working IE 6 and 7]

that workaround, using a second form tag may work, as i'm building the html by hand and can manually insert another form tag.

Would that work ? I can make that happen as the inner form tag is geing generated in a string at run time.

 

If so let me know the technique.

[setDataXML not working IE 6 and 7]

In the documentation there is a statement that says:

 

 

 

"You must manually get a reference to the chart".

 

 

 

What exactly do I need a reference for, as I am generating the javascritp server side I should be bale to do something.

[setDataXML not working IE 6 and 7]

that's not going to be possible for me as I'm using a master page which has to have a form tag in it, and all ASP.NET controls need to be inside a form tag.

 

 

 

Do you mean to tell me that we can't update via javascript in a form tag at all ? There is NO workaround ? That makes it impossible to use for most normal ASP.NET pages.

 

 

 

There must be a way to get to the chart object within a form, no ?

[setDataXML not working IE 6 and 7]

yes it's in the middle of an asp.net page so i really have no choice. I thought that getting a reference to the object itself could be enough, so I modified the fusioncharts c# helper to do this...

 

 

 

builder.AppendFormat("chart_{0} = new FusionCharts("{1}

 

 

 

instead of

 

 

 

builder.AppendFormat("var chart_{0} = new FusionCharts("{1}

 

 

 

so that chart_{0} would be a global variable and I could reference it later directly, which I'm able to do.

 

 

 

In a javascript console

 

 

 

chart_RBChart returns an OBJECT so I know I'm getting a correct reference

 

 

 

but

 

 

 

chart_RBChart.setDataXML(XMLData)

 

 

 

still returns an error in IE6 and IE&, but FireFox is OK.

 

 

 

n.

[setDataXML not working IE 6 and 7]

i've got a chart that needs to get update with some predetermined strings in an array: chartdata[0]="etc"

 

 

 

It's similar to:

 

http://www.fusioncharts.com/FusionCharts/Demos/JS/Index.html

 

 

 

when I click the link to update the chart I get am:

 

 

 

"Object doesn't support this porperty or method".

 

 

 

note that I am no longer relying on any getElementByID and am indeed referencing the chart object itself, in my case called RBChart:

 

 

 

Everything works fine in FireFox bit IE breaks.

 

 

 

Now this is in an ASP.NET site and the element is closed within form tags, I don't know if that's what's killing it.

 

 

 

This is the line that it's breaking on;

 

 

 

}else{

 

//Else, we update the chart data using External Interface

 

//Get reference to chart object

 

var chartObj = infosoftglobal.FusionChartsUtil.getChartObject(this.getAttribute('id'));

 

chartObj.setDataXML(strDataXML);

 

}

 

 

 

chartObj is an OBJECT, not an EMBED.

 

 

 

Can anyone help ?
