WebCharts on IE

[Herbert König]

Hi,

it's a known issue that webcharts don't work on Internet Explorer. The
excanvas.js has to be added.

I did this and the charts, axes and legends are drawn but the charts
contents is not drawn.

If anybody has any knowledge with that, I'd very grateful for a hint.

Datapoints so far:

- autoscaleMargin makes all x-axis labels print in one place on IE
- I verified that the excanvas.js Squeak produces is the same that
  is used by the examples of the creators of protochart.

Next steps:
- I will try to use the same prototype library (16.2) as they do.
- I will try to reproduce one of their examples in Squeak and compare
the generated html.

Suggestions for further Steps are very welcome.

Real life is calling ...


Cheers,

Hi Herbert,

On which version of IE did you test AidaCharts?

Cheers!

Hi Nico,

Forgot to say:

The same versions which successfully display the Demos from the
creators of protochart.

Hi,

HK> I did this and the charts, axes and legends are drawn but the charts
HK> contents is not drawn.

all in all this seems more complicated.

- The protochart site itself says, it doesn't work on IE8 which I
verified. I get the same problems with their examples and IE8 which I
have with WebCharts examples and IE 6 + 8

- They seem not to use the latest Version of excanvas.js which seems
to have a fix for IE8.

- Depending wether it's IE6 or FF3.5 they deliver substantially
different js files, alas one of them is compressed in the sense that
it's still ASCII but all whitespace removed.

- We seem not to use prototype > 16.02 which I found as a requirement
somewhere.

I'm working on it and let you know.

BTW does anybody have a javascript prettyprinter? Having two JS files
formatted by the same program makes comparisons much easier.
