User (Legacy) Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 Hello I am trying to drill down on a pie chart using the following code in a JSP. <% chart1.getPoint(<series>, index>).setUrl("destination"); %> The drill down works fine when there is only one chart being displyed by a JSP. However, if there are multiple charts on the same JSP, the URL on the 2nd chart points to the URL of the first chart (even though the two charts, and hence their URLs are entirely different). Is this a known issue with charfx? If so, what could be a possible workaround? Thank You KC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Software FX Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 Hi KC, The way to solve that issue is by adding a forth parameter to the getHtmlTag call, i.e: chart1.getHtmlTag("450","280","PNG","chart1") chart2.getHtmlTag("450","280","PNG","chart2") That forth parameter will be used as the Map name, so each chart will use their own image map, and the links will be right. I realize this parameter has not been documented, I'll put a request to update the docs.

User (Legacy) Posted July 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 Thanks for the reply. I have a follow up question. The solution you suggested works fine for a JSP that has 2 (or a known number of ) Chart objects that are unique (for example: chart1 and chart2) so distinct Image maps can be generated for each graph. I have a JSP, which generates a graph using chart1.getHtmlTag("450","280","PNG","chart1") This JSP being rendered by a page multiple times to display multiple graphs on the same page (like a Dashboard). Since the Chart object name (i.e. chart1) does not change each time a new graph is created, the Image maps for all charts are not generated corectly by this solution. I am not sure if I can dynamically change the name of a Java object (i.e. chart1 ) each time the code is executed. Do you have any other suggestions on how to solve this problem.

Software FX Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 Dear KC, The string you pass to getHtmlTag can be anything you want. "Charles" or even "Jack" It is just a unique identifier for the ImageMap on the browser to know which region corresponds. I am not sure if numbers work but a simple int that you declare that keeps track of every time getHtmlTag is called and is then incremented should work just fine. Try this to illustrate what I am talking about. int i = 0; chart1.getHtmlTag("450","280","PNG", "chart" + i++); chart2.getHtmlTag("450","280","PNG", "chart" + i++); Hope this helps. -c "Kunal Chawla" <kunal.chawla@appiancorp.com> wrote in message news:onE20TwgFHA.1476@webserver3.softwarefx.com... > Thanks for the reply.
