Can I Set Value = Variable?

[zales33]

Hello,

I'm trying to configure a 3D stacked column chart and was wondering if it's possible to declare a java script variable then use that variable in the set value syntax. I've pasted my example below.

 

Thank you for your help

<!--Define Java variables to use in the chart -->

 

var AnnualForecast=10000;

 

var chart = new FusionCharts("<%[[WEBBRIDGE]]%>?LongviewIdentifier=<%[[WEBVARIABLE,LongviewIdentifier]]%>&LongviewAction=GetFile&LongviewContentType='image/swf'&LongviewFileName='Optix/StackedColumn3DLineDY.swf'", "3DStkColLin", "100%", "350", "0", "0");

 

chart.setDataXML("<chart palette='1' caption='Forecast vs Budget' shownames='1' showvalues='0' numberPrefix='$' connectNullData='0' PYAxisName='Dollars' numDivLines='4' formatNumberScale='1' decimals='1' forceDecimals='1' >\

 

<categories>\

 

<category label='Forecast' />\

 

<category label='Budget' />\

 

</categories>\

 

<dataset seriesName='Actuals YTD' color='AFD8F8' showValues='0'>\

 

<set value='5000' />\

 

<set value='' />\

 

</dataset>\

 

<dataset seriesName='Forecast 12 Month' color='F6BD0F' showValues='0'>\

 

<set value='AnnualForecast' />\

 

<set value='' />\

 

</dataset>\

 

<dataset seriesName='Budget YTD' color='8BBA00' showValues='0' >\

 

<set value='' />\

 

<set value='14835' />\

 

</dataset>\

 

<dataset seriesName='Budget 12 Month' color='000000' showValues='0' >\

 

<set value='' />\

 

<set value='30872' />\

 

</dataset>\

Hi,

 

Yes, you can use JavaScript variable inside the XML data while building the XML string, using JavaScript string concatenation operator "+".

 

Ref. Code:

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
  var AnnualForecast=7000;
 	var myChart = new FusionCharts( "charts/Column2D.swf", "myChartId", "800", "600", "0", "1" );
  myChart.setXMLData("<chart ><set label='Oct' value='" + AnnualForecast + "' /><set label='Nov' value='2000' /></chart>");
 	myChart.render("chartContainer");
// -->
</script>

 

Please note that it is recommended to use "setXMLData();" instead of "setDataXML();", since "setDataXML();" is the deprecated method.

 

Hope this helps.
