On DataLoadError do not render chart

[TexasWebDevelopers]

Trying to do something simple: If there is a dataloaderror then don't render the chart.

Something like:

function FC_DataLoadError(DOMId){

if (DOMId=="chart1Id"){

//don't render 

else

//render

The end result should be an empty DIV when there is an error and a chart rendered in the DIV when everything is good.  I'm no javascript jockey but it looks to me that the chart has to render before the dataload error function can be called.  When it renders, the flash movie with the "data load error" is displayed and takes up a 300px X 250px space.  I want there to be nothing in the div on error if possible.

Thanks!

Hi,

 

 

 

Without loading the chart the data load error event would not be raised.

 

 

 

Catch 22!:-)

Well, Duh.  That's why I wrote to you...to see if you had other suggestions, not to tell me it won't work...I already know that!

Hi,

 

 

 

1. Load the chart 1x1 pixel or say 5x5.

 

 

 

2. Trap the event

 

 

 

3. If DataLoadError remove the chart instance from the parent div by setting innerHTML = ""

 

 

 

4. If successful , when no error events are trapped & FC_Rendered() get the XML from the chart by chart.getXML()

 

 

 

5. Render the chart again (with actual size) using this XML as dataXML in the same DIV where the small chart is present. This will replace the old chart with a new chart.
