The < character causes the chart to break

[Bharat Patel]

Hi There,

Is there is an alternate character that I can use for < symbol inside the categories label.

 

I tried < and < but it seems to be not working for the element "category" attribute "label"

 

I tried appending the <apply toObject='DATALABELS' styles='HTMLMode' /> to see if that solves the problem but still seems to be issue

<div id='ctl00_cphPageBody_chartFundSizes_chart1_fusionDiv'>

Chart.

<script type="text/javascript">

var categorydata = "<categories> <category label='< 50' /> <category label='50 - 149' /> <category label='150 - 499' /> <category label='500 - 999' /> <category label='1,000 - 4,999' /> <category label='5,000 - 9,999' /> <category label='10,000 +' /></categories>";

Hi,

 

It seems the '<' and '>' characters are not encoded in the generated XML which is fed to the chart object for plotting.

 

Could you please try once Server.HtmlEncode() (since you are plotting graph from ASP.NET) and see if it helps?

 

For more details, please refer: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/157646/best-way-to-encode-text-data-for-xml

 

Hope this helps!

Hi There,

Thanks for your reply. I mean to say that even if I convert < to < still  does not work. I had to replace it with word "less than" for it to work. I am already calling the server.htmlencode to take care of these issues soon after I found it on the forums.

Kind Regards,
