Line breaks added here for ease of reading. This is used within an .asp page. I have the #include to the FusionCharts.asp file and the script link to FusionCharts.js. Some of the chart parameters don't apply; they are left over from another version of the chart. strChartXMLTransTotSmall= <chart decimalPrecision='0' bgAlpha='100' bgColor='F5F5F2' showBorder='0' borderColor='ccccff' borderAlpha='0' showExportDataMenuItem='1' showZeroPies='1' formatNumberScale='0' showLabels='0' showValues='0' showPercentageValues='0' showPercentageInLabel='0' pieSliceDepth='15' pieBorderColor='000000' pieBorderThickness='1' showShadow='0' enableSmartLabels='0' isSmartLineSlanted='1' baseFont='Arial' baseFontSize='12' toolTipSepChar=': ' baseFontColor='000000' pieRadius='40' animation='0' outCnvBaseFontColor='000000' clickURL='j-popupChartsPage()' caption='' > <set label='B2G' value='446892' color='FF7538' toolText='B2G: 4.7%25' /> <set label='EDI' value='5071021' color='EE204D' toolText='EDI: 52.8%25' /> <set label='FHAC' value='1067529' color='9ACEEB' toolText='FHAC: 11.1%25' /> <set label='Mergers' value='729190' color='FCE883' toolText='Mergers: 7.6%25' /> <set label='Periodic' value='1623810' color='B4674D' toolText='Periodic: 16.9%25' /> <set label='SFISnet' value='276248' color='1F75FE' toolText='SFISnet: 2.9%25' /> <set label='FHAC-Excel' value='382362' color='926EAE' toolText='FHAC-Excel: 4%25' /> </chart> Call renderChartHTML("FusionCharts/Charts/PIE2D.swf", "", strChartXMLTransTotSmall, "TransTotChart", "95", "95", false) The JavaScript function popupChartsPage() for now just does alert('foo'). I will be using it to open a popup window with other charts and pass the strXML in the querystring.

1. I am currently developing with the trial version of FusionCharts that I downloaded about three weeks ago. I think it is version 3.10. I read in the forums that there is a version 3.11. What are the differences between the versions and how can I upgrade to version 3.11? 2. What is the current projected release date for FusionCharts v4? I read in the forums that at one point it was Q2 2009 and then that it is "around the end of 2009." 3. If the company I work for purchases, as they are considering doing, an Enterprise license for FusionCharts v3 during September 2009, will the company get a free upgrade to v4 when it is released or should we wait to purchase FusionCharts until v4 is released? 4. My manager has some questions about the details of the licensing terms. Does your company have a contact in the United States that he could speak with by phone? He doesn't want to have to call a phone number in India. Thanks.

I read in a forum post something about discount coupons for FusionCharts in a newsletter. How can my company get a discount coupon for purchasing FusionCharts? Thanks.

I see that for the Enterprise license you get Priority Support free for 3 months. What does Priority Support consist of and what does it cost after the 3 months free? Thanks.

Never mind about question 1 about what's new in v3.1.1. I found the answer in a post from April, 2009: We have just released FusionCharts v3.1.1 with the following improvements and fixes: Improvements: Optimizations in FusionCharts Export Handlers (Server-side). Fix: Minor bug fix in FusionCharts Export Component SWF and JavaScript class. Fix: Export data can have blank qualifier. Fix: seriesNameInToolTip bug fixed.

Never mind answering question 3 about upgrade policy from v3 to v4. I read on the licensing page that for Professional, Site, and Enterprise licenses,

I have the trial version of FusionCharts 3.10. I'm trying to use the "<" symbol in the label of a set. I've followed the example in the docs at http://www.fusioncharts.com/docs/Contents/SpChar_LT.html and I get the message "Invalid XML data." The chart works if I don't use "<" in the set label. Below is the relevant part of the strXML (in an .asp page). I can provide the entire strXML if you want. <set label='< 91' value='41324.5' hovertext='Before 1991' color='0000ff'/> <styles> <definition> <style name='myHTMLFont' type='font' isHTML='0'/> </definition> <application> <apply toObject='DATALABELS' styles='myHTMLFont'/> </application> </styles>

Dear Rajroop, Thanks for your accurate, thorough, and timely reply. I am using the strXML method. I changed it to use "%26lt;" and that worked. Cheers, ChartsJazz

I should add that I was using FusionChartsFree. When I downloaded the trial version 3.10 I only added the .swf files from the trial version and revised my code. Do I also need to replace the FusionCharts.asp and/or FusionCharts.js files and other files to get the capability to use the less than symbol in a set label? By the way, the company I work for is in the process of purchasing FusionCharts 3.10 Enterprise version, so your strategy of giving away the free version and hoping that it will entice users to purchase the paid version worked in this case. I evaluated quite a few charting options and think you offer the best choice. In particular we like that there are no DLLs that we have to install on servers that we don't control. And the documentation is excellent! Best wishes to whoever wrote it.
