There can be many reasons for this.

Did you install Chart FX on that deployment server ? Did any error occur ?

Look at the View-Source of the generated page.

Is there an <OBJECT> tag referencing Chart FX ? If so, you are generating a

Client component and you may be having a problem with your server

configuration. Look at the CODEBASE for this object tag, copy this url,

paste it in your browser's address bar and pre-pend your server name. Do you

get an error when the browser tries to download the component ?

I too am having this problem, it is preventing us from using the client 

control at all. I followed the suggestions in all three KB articles

mentioned below, no dice, I still see the empty IFRAME on the page. Here

is a copy of the object tag as rendered on the page :

<object id="eventSummaryChart"

classid="/chartfx62/download/ChartFX.MainClient.DLL#SoftwareFX.ChartFX.Internet.MainClient"

WIDTH="660px" HEIGHT="330px" >

<PARAM NAME="DataCookieId" VALUE="rprnxmavx4rkdqerlk1anu2c">

<PARAM NAME="DataPath" VALUE="/chartfx62/temp/CFT0309_013349144AA.chw">

<PARAM NAME="AssemblyTarget" VALUE="ChartFX.Internet.Client,

Version=6.2.2211.19403, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=a1878e2052c08dce" >

<PARAM NAME="ClassTarget"

VALUE="SoftwareFX.ChartFX.Internet.Client.Chart" >

</object>

Notice there is no "codebase" attribute as you're mentioning, perhaps that's

the problem?

Here's what I have tried :

- updating to the latest ChartFX 6.2 for .NET service pack

- adjusting the file-level security permissions on the directories and DLL's

to allow the web server Full Control access to the directories under

/ChartFX62

- adjusting .NET security through the .NET 1.1 Configuration wizards -

though it doesn't matter, even with "Full Trust" enabled on everything, it

still doesn't work, even on the web server itself.

- enabling directory browsing on "chartfx62", "download" and "temp" - I can

see the contents of all three directories.

- when I put the value in "classid" above into the browser address bar with

my server name prepended, I get a 404 error even though the DLL being

referenced is clearly available. I also get a 404 error if I click on any

.chw in the /temp directory, though if I click on any image files in the

same directory, those show up as expected.

As I stated, I am on the latest build as updated from the website, but here

are some DLL version #'s for your reference as well (bear in mind that these

were updated from the ChartFX support website) :

It can be a permissions problem, either .NET permissions (in the client) or 

Windows Permissions (in the server).

The CODEBASE is not used for .NET Controls only for ActiveX controls.

1) To verify your server permissions you can type the following in your

browser's address bar:

http:<your server name>/chartfx62/download/ChartFX.MainClient.DLL

If you get a "Save As" dialog then your server permissions are OK.

2) To verify your client's permissions, go to the control panel -

administrative tools - .NET framework configuration. Temporarily set all

zones to Full Trust.

If two or more .NET framework versions are installed, IE will take the

newest one by default, so make sure you change the right one.
