IE8: getChartFromId returns object but calling methods on it does not work

[francescoNemesi]

Hi there,

 

 

 

My GWT application uses FusionCharts, I have a functionality to export server side to print the charts to PDF. All works fine in all browsers, but not in IE8. I start the export process with the following method:

 

 

 

public static native void exportChart(String divId) /*-{

 

var chart = $wnd.getChartFromId(divId);

 

if(chart.hasRendered()) chart.exportChart();

 

}-*/;

 

 

 

The var chart is returned as "Object" (i.e. not null), but after that, no matter which method I call on chart, I get the following error:

 

 

 

 

 

com.google.gwt.core.client.JavaScriptException: (TypeError): Object doesn't support this property or method

 

 

 

As I said, I have no problems with the other browsers. Can you please help me with urgency? I have a valid commercial license, this issue is stopping my application from going to production.

 

 

 

Thanks,

 

Francesco

I thought I should add I have installed the latest version of Flash (10,0,45,2 )

Hi,

Could you please send us the sample code that you are using for the same?

Awaiting your reply.

Hi, I found the problem... I was assigning the same id to both the div container and embed tags. FF works anyway, but IE was trying to execute getChartFromId on the DIV element, hence failing.

 

 

 

Thanks for your help, Francesco
