Hello All,

I'm not massively experienced with JavaScript or Google Visualization API 
so I could be missing something obvious. It seems impossible to set up a 
generalised function to create a visualization for an external data source, 
whilst I can easily generalise the input URL for the external data is is 
from my current understanding not possible to pass the specific element I 
would like to attach the visualization to through to the query callback 
function.

Here's what I've got:

<script type="text/javascript">
    function drawDocsTable( url, div-id ) {
      // Can easily set the URL I wish to grab the data from
      var query = new google.visualization.Query( url );
      
      // The callback function cannot take additional parameters..
      query.send( drawDocsTableCallback );
    }
    function drawDocsTableCallback(response) {
      if (response.isError()) {
        alert('Error in query: ' + response.getMessage() + ' ' + 
response.getDetailedMessage());
        return;
      }
    
      var data = response.getDataTable();
      
      // Therefore I can only have a static element
      visualization = new 
google.visualization.Table(document.getElementById('table'));
      visualization.draw(data, null);
    }
</script>

I'd rather not have to create a new callback function for every different 
visualization. I considered putting the element into a global scope 
variable, but if I call this function again before the data is fetched then 
it would get overridden.

Thoughts?

Will
