MartinS Report post Posted March 4, 2010 Hi I have a series of charts that are generated from individual links on a page, and two of these links contain an ampersand in the text. This definitely worked without any problems in the version of Fusion prior to 3, but since we have upgraded out application to use v3, I get an 'Invalid XML Data' message for the two charts that contain the ampersand. I have tried changing it to %26, also & but both cause the same effect. I have supplied my XML below so you can maybe point me at what is wrong with the Xml being used to create my chart. <chart animation="1" bgAlpha="0,0" showBorder="0" useRoundEdges="1" setAdaptiveYMin="1" numberScaleValue="1000000,1000" numberScaleUnit="M,B" caption="" xAxisName="D&B score of guarantor" yAxisName="" xAxisMinValue="1" xAxisMaxValue="100" yAxisMinValue="0"

Rahul Kumar Report post Posted March 4, 2010 Hi Martin, Thanks for the XML, could you please also let us know whether you are using dataXML or dataURL method to provide data to the chart? Also please note that if you are using dataXML method then you would need to use ' (single quote) instead of double quote (") everywhere in your XML (to attribute & value pair), so your modified XML would be like: <chart animation='1' bgAlpha='0,0' showBorder='0' useRoundEdges='1' setAdaptiveYMin='1' numberScaleValue='1000000,1000' numberScaleUnit='M,B' caption='' xAxisName='D%26B score of

& to %26 which is now working fine with dataXML method. Hope this helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MartinS Report post Posted March 4, 2010 Thank Rahul I just needed to replace the % with %26 at a different point in the code, and it now works as expected. Thansk for your help. Martin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MartinS Report post Posted March 4, 2010 Actually, maybe it's not quite resolved... The chart now renders, which is an improvement but by setting the xaxisname to equal 'D%26B Score', it renders that in the chart as exactly that, not changing the '%26' to '&' as I'd expect. I loaded the XML into another XML program to find if there were any errors, which is why they are all shown encased in " not ', and in answer to your question I am using the dataXML approach. Any suggestions how to display '&' within the axis title text and still have fully formed XML? Thanks Martin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MartinS Report post Posted March 9, 2010 Hi Do you just want the entire XML that is generated? I can't send you a working application, the Xml is the best I can do. If I load the chart Xml into, say, XmlSpy, it tells me the label tag is invalid as it contains an ampersand, which was what I assumed was the problem. This has worked before, and has only shown up since we have upgraded to the latest version of fusion so wondered if something had changed - it would appear that is not the case, so am a bit confused as to why it has stopped working. And it does only not work for the two charts with & in the axis text - the other five charts are fine. Let me know if the XML is sufficient.

Guest Madhumita Report post Posted March 9, 2010 Hello, Please send us the generated XML that you get from the debug window and also specify the dimensions of the chart with which you are rendering. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MartinS Report post Posted March 9, 2010 Many apologies - I reviewed the xml, and found some code which replaced % with %25, so %26 became %2526, which was why it did not work. I have fixed this code and am now getting the ampersand as expected and it's all working as i'd expect. Sorry to waste your time, and thanks for your help.
