well i got to the bottom of it, i am a little shocked this was not in the documents! You of course cannot display the chart if you do not fetch the data first, there are strange things occuring! if i use: 
<script type="text/javascript" src="FusionCharts/FusionCharts.js" /> 
 
<script type="text/javascript"> 
</script>Notice the empty javascript above, if i do not include it the chart fails to load!?! if i simply use  
<script type="text/javascript" src="FusionCharts/FusionCharts.js" />nothing works.....any clues why this woul happen?
