Hi,
There is a known issue of the interactive charts (browser based pie chart,
bar chart, column, line, area, and scatter) on Internet explorer 8, that
when the user hover over the data points, or clicks them, a javascript error
is raised of "Object not found".

We still don't have a fix for this, but there is a workaround that solves
the issue, and is very simple to implement in most cases, so here it is.

The problem only happens if a DOCTYPE tag is specified (not that if is not
specified at the *very* first line of the html page, it is ignored, and then
the problem will not occur).

The doc types that cause the problem are:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd";>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd";>

If you do not specify DOCTYPE or specify an old doctype like the ones
specified here, the problem does not occur.

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//EN">
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">

Hope this helps for now, and we will update once there is a fix for this
issue.
