setDataUrl with a server url shows "Error in loading data"

[Loko]

Hello

 

 

 

I'm a new user to FusionCharts, and trying to adapt the samples to my needs.

 

 

 

This is my HTML/JS code :

 

 

 

var chart = new FusionCharts("../Charts/MSLine.swf", "ChartId", "600", "350", "0", "1"); 

chart.setDataURL('/portal/pls/portal/gfc_dev.deplacements.p_test?');

chart.render("chartdiv");

 

 

 

and my server returns : --> see attachement as the [ code ] [ /code] tags does not seem to work.

 

 

 

And I get the "Error in loading data" message.

 

 

 

It works fine if I put the data in a javascript variable and pass it to setDataXML().

 

 

 

Could you explain me what's wrong ?

 

 

 

Regards

Hello Loko,

Welcome to the forum.

In the line--> chart.setDataURL('/portal/pls/portal/gfc_dev.deplacements.p_test?');

The path needs to be set to the XML file.

Could you please rectify this and try again?

[Loko]

There is no xml file. This url launches a script on the server that then returns the content of my attached file as en HTTP response.

 

 

 

Many data servers work like this, to return some XML or JSON data on the fly, without having to manage some boring and useless files.

Okay. Could you please ensure that the script sends content=text/xml and try again? Your current script seems to be sending content=text/html .

I hope this helps! 

[Loko]

Yes, you're right, I got use to send some JSON data and in that case, text content is ok.

 

 

 

I guess this would work with the content=text/xml flag, but unfortunatly I can't set it within my server script :-(

 

 

 

Anyway I can workaround this : I will get the xml data via an ajax call then store it in a javascript var then use setDataXML.

 

 

 

Many thanks for your help.
