Include link in Y axis name

[ameenaiqbal]

I am using asp.net, C# with fusion charts. I am using the dataXML method to generate chart. All functionalities work great, but I am unable to give '<' character in XML data.

I want to give a hyper link with in the Y-axis name, which on clicking should open a page. That is, I have to give '<a>' tag in the 'yAxisName' attribute of chart element. I have tried the escape characters for < such as '<', '<' but none helped. If the xml contains a '<' or equivalent code of that character it shows 'Invalid XML' error.

Is there a way that I can embed a link in yAxisName attribute value?

Thanks.

You'll need to use dataURL method and then encode < as < Also, you'll need to convey to the chart that y-axis name would be HTML (using STYLES).

When I use the dataURL method, the graph is not properly displayed when viewed from remote machines. The URL of xml file is specified correctly. The graph always shows ChartNoDataText message. In local machine, the graph is properly displayed.

What could be wrong?

Can you please pass me the HTML and XML output?

I am using ASP.net code to dynamically create the xml data for generating chart. While using dataXML method everything was working as expected. But I have to switch to dataURL method inorder to use '<' for embedding html tags.

So I saved the dynamically created XML data to an XML file, 'data.xml' in root folder, to use in dataURL method. The result of RenderChartHTML method is output to a Literal control in the aspx page using the following C# code:

ltrChart.Text = infosoftglobal.FusionCharts.RenderChartHTML(ApplicationPath + "/FusionCharts/StackedBar3D.swf?PBarLoadingText=Rxploring...&ChartNoDataText=No Data Available for Your Selection", ApplicationPath + "data.xml", "", "CategoryNumber", "540", "470", false);

But it always displays the message 'No Data Available for Your Selection'. 

The dynamically created sample XML data is pasted below:

 

<chart caption="Drug Regimen Adverse Reaction Profile" legendShadow="1" xAxisName="Effects - Summary" yAxisName="Rxplore Score <a href="test.aspx" target="_blank">(What's This?)</a>" baseFontSize="10" baseFontColor="808080" showValues="0" numberPrefix="">

Another problem is that I am not able to use RenderChart method with Ajax. This method requires complete page refresh to generate chart. It was a very useful method as I could avoid the 'Click to activate this control' message by using this method. So I am using RenderChartHTML method.

Thanks.

Can you just run the debug mode of chart to see if data is coming right to it?
