In a page that I'm working on, I can use the following for a fusiongadget gauge:

<div id="chart4" align="center">

<script type="text/javascript">

var myChart = new FusionCharts("FG/Charts/AngularGauge.swf", "chart4", "180", "100", "0", "0");

myChart.setDataURL("http://server_name/check_table.cgi?tabName=table5");

myChart.render("chart4");

</script>

</div>

This works fine and the guage displays. However, on the same page I am trying to do the same thing with a MSColumn2D.swf chart... but it's not working. I get an "Error in loading data" message.

I've verified the XML is correct.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Could you please try using relative URL instread of using absolute URL (one that has http://.. ). Newer version of charts does not allow absolute URL to stop XSS Attacks.

Unfortunately, the cgi script that I am trying to call is located on a different server. I don't believe it's possible to use a relative url when I'm trying to access a different server...?

Any ideas/suggestions?

Thanks again.

Could you please try using a relayer script (in the same domain as of the application file and chart swf) that loads the XML from the other domain and once loaded sets the XML to the chart?

Does the setDataURL function work differently for Fusion Charts than it does for Fusion Gadgets?

Thanks.

It is more probable that the version of FusionGadgets/FusionWidgets (v3.0.1 - December 26th, 2007 onwards) that you are using does not have this XSS attack prevention feature while the version (FusionCharts v3.0.5 - 22nd December, 2007 onwards)

Barring that, would it be possible to maybe get a copy of the older Fusion Charts engine (for lack of a better word) that would allow me to access a different server without a relay script? Or, could the "relative url" security feature possibly be made into an option that can be toggled on or off?

Thanks!
