setDataURL inconsistency

[Mike RW]

Hi,

 

 

 

When using the FusionCharts.js i discovered the "you must encode URL's if using URL's that look like .asp?moo=foo" when using the setDataURL function from FusionCharts.js.

 

 

 

However, i discovered this is NOT an issue after the chart object has been initialized.

 

 

 

for example i initialize my chart:

 

	   var chart = new FusionCharts("SelectScatter.swf", "selectChart", "570", "700", "0", "1");

		chart.setDataXML('');		

	   chart.render('chartDiv');

 

 

 

If i replace the chart.setDataXML with chart.setDataURL("generateChart.aspx?moo=foo&ice=cold"), it gives me headaches (this happens with fusioncharts and powercharts). BUT later, i have a form updating the setDataURL:

 

 

 

function changeChart(chartID,urlValue){



var chartObj = getChartFromId(chartID);

chartObj.setDataURL(urlValue);

}

 

 

 

This works just fine, with the urlValue being something like "generateChart.aspx?moo=foo&ice=cold" without having to encoding the URL (replace unsafe characters with hex). I wonder if the encode URL restriction on setDataURL is a FusionCharts.js problem? should i be encoding the URL just incase though?

 

 

 

also, where do i find documentation for those last two parameters for initializing a chart?

We insist on always encoding the URL before providing it to FusionCharts.
