Change Data

[Rahul44]

I was trying to follow your example but only the first data show its not actually switching the data.

 

I am using FusionChart 3.1.1 not sure what the name of it is and i tried the following code ..

 

<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

 

function updateChart(domId){

updateChartXML(domId,"<graph><set name='A' value='30' color='D64646' /><set name='B' value='51' color='AFD8F8' /></graph>");

this.document.frmUpdate.btnUpdate.disabled = true;

}

</SCRIPT>

 

<div id="chart1div">

FusionCharts

</div>

<script language="JavaScript">

var chart1 = new FusionCharts("/FusionCharts/Optix/Column2D.swf", "chart1Id", "100%", "350");

chart1.setDataXML("<graph><set name='A' value='10' color='D64646' /><set name='B' value='11' color='AFD8F8' /></graph>");

chart1.render("chart1div");

</script>

<form name='frmUpdate'>

<input type='button' value='Change Data' onClick="javaScript:updateChart('chart1Id');" name='btnUpdate'>

</form>

 

Its giving me object expected error ..

Can you pls advise ..

Or can you suggest another way to change data in a fusion chart on the client side ..

Hi Rahul,

 

Welcome to FusionCharts Forum!

 

Sincere apologies for delayed response.

 

Could you please try it out using the latest version of FusionCharts XT?

 

Recently, we have released FusionCharts XT v3.3.0. It has many bug fixes and improvements. Also, it provides powerful JavaScript API for more customization as compared to FusionCharts v3.1.1

 

Please find the attached illustration for your reference.

 

Hope this helps!

Hi Rahul,

 

As you have mentioned, you would need to update the chart again with the old data to get back the original chart.

 

However, instead of passing the old data again to the "setDataXML()" method, you can get the chart XML by "getXML()" method and store it in a JavaScript variable, just before updating the chart and onClick of "Back" button you can update the chart with that saved data.

 

Please find the modified "test.html" attached here, for your reference.

 

Hope this helps!

Please note that FusionCharts XT supports a special type of Drill-down called LinkedCharts that natively provides a "Back" button to go back to parent child from where you have drilled-down to the child chart.

Ref.- http://www.fusioncharts.com/demos/features/#linkedcharts-for-easy-drill-down

http://docs.fusioncharts.com/charts/contents/?FirstChart/LinkedCharts.html

 

In case you wish to achieve the same feature on the chart in FusionCharts v3.1.1, this is natively not possible. However, you can always wrote your own piece of code to call the function to go back to the previous chart at your end, as per your requirement.

 

Hope this helps.
