Javascript error in IE8 (SetReturnValue method)

[trashCanMan]

Hello,

 

I am testing IE8 and it is showing the following error:

 

"Microsoft JScript runtime error: Object doesn't support this property or method"

 

when executing this code:

 

try 

{ 

   document.getElementById("graficoCotacoes").SetReturnValue(__flash__toXML(FC_Loaded("graficoCotacoes")) );

} catch (e) 

{ 

   document.getElementById("graficoCotacoes").SetReturnValue("");

}

 

I have debugged the javascript code in FusionCharts.js and on line #255 and noticed that on the "if" condition, the instruction

document.embeds[this.getAttribute('id')]

returns 'undefined' and immediately after, the exception is thrown!!!

 

At the time i wasn

HI,

Could you please let us know whether you have set registerWithJS option on while rendering the chart.

Please also try running the application from a web server.

I am having the same problem, My code works in Chrome and FF but throws an error in IE.

 

 

 

This is the error I am getting:

 

Line: 1

Error: Object doesn't support this property or method

 

When I debug with IE i find the error is on this line.

 

try { document.getElementById("mainChart").SetReturnValue(__flash__toXML(FC_Loaded("mainChart")) ); } catch (e) { document.getElementById("mainChart").SetReturnValue(""); }

 

 

 

I attached my source code perhaps someone can tell me if I'm doing something obviously wrong.

By the way SANATIZE YOUR FORM INPUTS It makes me sick that i had to html encode my source just to post on your site...

I figured out the problem...

 

I basically make sure the div that the javascript is being injected into does not have the same id as the chartId otherwise IE will throw an error.

[atorres]

By the way I also recommend adding

 

 

 

//Add wmode transparency to allow overlay

this.addParam('wmode', 'opaque');

 

 

 

to the FusionCharts.js file provided by FC to allow for overlaying any html you may want on top of the chart.

Hi,

Thanks for sharing your idea.

[dori]

The example is very good I used it and created a html link and when i click on it the export is starting

I dont know how to manage to export type (pdf/jpg) is there a way to configure it ?

also after the export finished how can i invoke the save action ?

 

my goal is to export and save in one click instead of one click for export and another for save

 

appreciate your help

Hi,

 

With regard to your query, please note that right now FusionCharts does not have the feature of saving the chart image without clicking the "save" button, for Flash Charts.

 

However you can trigger the capture process automatically immediate after chart renders in browser, by using FusionCharts JavaScript API function "exportChart();".

 

Ref. Code:

myChart.addEventListener( "rendered" , function ()  { FusionCharts("myChartId").exportChart( { exportAtClient: '0',  exportFormat: 'JPG' } ); 

 

Otherwise you can use JavaScript charts for exporting, in which you can export and save the chart in one click.

 

To see the example of "Exporting JavaScript Charts at client side", please follow the link below:

http://docs.fusionch...criptChart.html

 

Hope this helps!
