Hello everyone,
I've been having a problem in making the tr:chart component work onFirefox and
IE browsers. I've tried many work-arounds and discoveredmany scenarios in the
attempt of fixing the problem.
First scenario:
Using Firefox (native SVG-support enabled), no Adobe SVG Plugin
Thisis the original setup for my browser, and when I ran my web-app, thebrowser
asked me to do with the SVG (chart) file, whether to downloadit, open it up
with some application, etc. Of course none, of this workin loading the SVG
chart in the web page.
I've checked (from Firebug) that the html element (embed) being rendered for
the SVG object includes the type attribute with the value of image/svg+xml, it
indicated the plus sign and not the minus sign.
I've ran the chart demo from irian.at, and the chart load just fine. Which I
find weird.
Second scenario:
Using Internet Explorer with no Adobe SVG Viewer installed
This totally does not work and asks to install for the plugin.
Third Scenario:
Installed Adobe SVG Viewer 3 in Internet Explorer
Works like a charm, it rendered the SVG chart perfectly well.
Fourth Scenario:
Installed SVG Plugin for Mozilla Firefox, native browser support for SVG enabled
I've checked the plug-in site for Mozilla Firefox in mozilla.org, and as per
the instructions, downloaded the SVG plugin from Adobe (this one is versioned
6), copied the NPSVG6.dll and NPSVG6.zip from the installation folder to
Mozilla Firefox's plugins folder.
This workaround didn't work however, it still asks for me to select what to do
with the SVG document.
Fifth Scenario:
Installed SVG Plugin for Mozilla Firefox, native browser support for SVG
disabled
This time, I disabled the svg-support inherent from Firefox itself. It no
longer opens a Dialog box to select an action for the SVG document, however, it
still does not load the SVG chart. It displayed the error message that I need a
different version of web browser (IE, Firefox 1.5+, etc.)
Finally,
I stripped everything clean from where I started (no Adobe SVG Viewer plugin,
native Firefox SVG support enabled) and still NO GO. I am also no longer able
to run the Components Demo for charts seamlessly, can no longer load/view the
chart.
As you can see, I'm at wits end on how to turn things around. Can anyone please
help me out?
I assumed that Apache Trinidad was correctly used and configured in the
web-application since I can view the charts seamlessly in the third scenario.
I basically followed the codes from the source of the Components Demon for
Charts components.
Thanks,
Jason DP
