Hi,

Could you please use this XML?

Data.zip

[mahesh]

I am providing the xml data directly to the java script. I am not using any seperate xml. Can you please guide me how to use a seperate data.xml file. I am using swfObject to prepare a Map.

 

 

 

Thanks

Hi,

Could you please follow this link?

http://www.fusioncharts.com/maps/docs/Contents/JS_setDataURL.html

[mahesh]

Sorry but i am using SWFObject.js and using the object of this script itself. and m not able to use setDataURL to this object.

[mahesh]

when i am trying to use link='www.google.com' (Without 'http://') it is taking the relative path which tries to find www.google.com inside the Root dir in which my html lies. It is not takin the request with absolute path which should be htt://www.google.com

 

 

 

Can anyone please help me to sort out the thing??

 

 

 

Thanks

Hi,

If you want to open any other web site please use http://www.google.com. If you want to open other server program or html file with in same domain please use virtual and relative path. i.e link="other/a.html"

[mahesh]

I am very confused. Sometime it works and some time doesn't work.

[mahesh]

Can anyone pleaes help. It is still not working.

 

 

 

Thanks

Hi Mahesh,

To use an external link to a web site you would need to prefix it with http:// in the link attribute, as this is following the http protocol and need to specify the protocol. Otherwize, the line parser would take the link as a relative path to some URL and not a absolute URL to a site. You would need to abide by this convention.

i.e. link='http://www.google.com'

Could I please know, the main point of confusion that you are facing?

[mahesh]

I am quite surprised. It is working when i am trying link='http:/www.google.com'. Note single '/'

 

 

 

Thanks

Could you please let us know the following things?

1. Browser and platform you are using?

2. The minor version of the map setting debug mode on

3. Provide the XML from the debug window (by copy pasting to a text file)

Finally, if you are using any other code than our basic implementation samples please send to us.

Hi Mahesh,

The XML links with http:/ does not work in our labs.

Could you please arrange for a live site where we can get this live over internet.

Please let us know the following:

2. The minor version of the map setting debug mode on

3. Provide the XML from the debug window (by copy pasting to a text file)

[mahesh]

I will not be able to make it live. Can i call you? Pleaes give me your contact number

[mahesh]

One more confusion is there. When i am hitting a simple html, then it is working with link='http:/www.google.com' but when i am using this in my j2ee application, it is not working.

 

 

 

Thanks

Hi Sudipto,

 

I am not getting these points:

 

 

 

The minor version of the map setting debug mode on and

 

Provide the XML from the debug window (by copy pasting to a text file)

 

 

 

Please let me know how to provide this.

 

 

 

Thanks

Hi Mahesh,

Please use so.addVariable("debugMode","1");

Please note that we provide a wrapper JavaScript (FusionMaps.js) morphed from SWFObject which would help reducing lot of your pains in this implementaion.

http://fusioncharts.com/maps/docs/Contents/BasicUsage.html

http://fusioncharts.com/maps/docs/Contents/DataXML.html

[ Using this method you can set debougMode by the bolded parameter :

var map = new FusionMaps("FCMap_World.swf", "Map1Id", "750", "400", "1", "0");

]

Now when you set DebugMode on you can get a window above the map:

http://fusioncharts.com/maps/docs/Contents/Debug/window.html

You can see that you would get the version of the map here and the XML data.

Use you mouse and select the XML data as text selection ... copy the XML and paste the XML in a blank text file...save the file and attache in your post.

You can copy the XML for both caese http:// and http:/

Surely, the actual XML passed to the map would give a claer insight into the issue.

[mahesh]

Thanks Sudipto for the information.

 

Ok i have done the same thing. And please get the attached txt file that contains the actual xml data. Please have a look nand let me know where i am wrong. When i am using simple html it works with link='http:/www.google.com' but when i am using this in my j2ee application, it is not working.

 

 

 

Please help me.

 

 

 

Thanks

Hi Mahesh,

Now I am really very confused!

May I know the reason why are you presuing http:/ ?

Why not http:// ?

Please let us know if http:// works in HTML and JSP appllication or not.

[FusionCharts Support]

Hi Mahesh,

Please also check using simple HTML and http:/ using other browsers like Internet Explore 6/7/8 . It wont work.

If you are facing issues with HTML or Server Application using http:// please let us know.

http:/ using simple HTML works only in Firefox or even if in some other browers, this is not the correct way.

We always maining some protocols, coventions... isnt it?

[mahesh]

This the only thing i am worried about. When i am using link='http://www.google.com' it is not working even when i am trying to make the entire map clickable using clickURL='http://www.google.com' in tag, it is not working at all. By doing just hit and trials, i made this like link='http:/www.google.com' in simple html, it started working. I got surprised. and used same clickURL='http://www.google.com' and the entire maps was clickable and redirect me to google.com by this single '/':hehe:. OK. But when i am using the same code in my j2ee tag file, both things http:// and http:/ are not working. It creates a lot of headache to me. Please help to solve the issue.

 

 

 

OK let me make you clear that http:// and http:/ both are not working in my j2ee application that used a jsp and tag file. AND with only simple HTML http:/ is working not http://

 

 

 

Thanks

Hi Mahesh,

Did you try with other browsers?

[mahesh]

Sorry for delayed response.

 

Yes i have tried on IE7. Results are same.

[mahesh]

Hi Sudipto,

 

Have you got the solution of my problem.

 

 

 

Thanks

 

Mahesh

[mahesh]

I am using swfobject.js instead of FusionMaps.js and using the object of the swfobject.js. Is this the point where i am going wrong?? Please get the attached js and the simple HTML.
