Anyone ever used the tabs (jquery-ui-1.8.9
) and pie charts from Highcharts 2.1.4
together? To put it simply, I have multiple tabs, where each tab shows a pie chart with different data. The charts DO render to the divs, but when I click on the 2nd tab, the chart somehow shows up 300px
to the right of where it's suppose to be. Whenever I zoom in or out of the browser window, the chart goes back to the correction position.
My code:
//Suppose the number tabs are generated based on variable $count, and there are 2 tabs
<script type="text/javascript">
var chart_tab_<?=count?>;
$(document).ready(function() {
chart_tab_<?=count?> = new Highcharts.Chart({
chart: {
renderTo: 'chart_tab_<?=count?>',
// blah blah
}
<body>
<div id="chart_tab_<?=count?>"></div>
</body>
Again, the chart renders, but on the 2nd tab the display is bugged.
Update: I know that this KIND OF fixes the problem:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$( "#tabs" ).tabs({
cookie: { expires: 1 }
});
$( "#tabs" ).tabs({
select: function(event, ui) { window.location.reload(); }
});
});
But it's really crappy because the page has to be reloaded every time a user clicks on the tab. Any ideas would be great.
The best solution is in callback function of tabs or when click on each tab, reflow highchart. Look at it:
Chart.reflow and this link jsfiddle and also this code that you have add in tab callback:
This worked for me after adding the class name (contains-chart) in the tabs
I ran into same problem, the reflow() method works for me. I grasp the corresponding chart by access the global Highcharts variable. Here the order of charts is order of tabs.
You should manually trigger resize event
I had a similar issue in that my charts were rendering on the client with zero width whenever the chart was on a tab that was not activated by default. This answer was inspired by ojreadmore's answer. Instead of using the document ready event of jQuery to initialize your highchart, you should instead use the activate event of your the tab your chart is on. This has the added benefit of doing the snazzy chart animation each time the user clicks the tab.
Instead of:
Use:
This is my solution (only tested in Safari and Firefox). It works great if you want to load the chart into a hidden tab on a page with flexible width. The chart resize if the browser window is resized.
In the chart settings, set the width of the chart from the tab that opens on page load (using jQuery to get the width):
The following function adjusts width if the browser window is resized. 500 is the height. This is done automatically if the width is not specified in the chart options.
