[code] var sample_input_data = "0.0,1.0:1.0,21.0:2.0,321.0:3.0,2005.0:4.0,7737.0:5.0,22461.0:6.0,54121.0:7.0,114381.0:8.0,219345.0:9.0,390277.0:10.0,654321.0:10.0,654321.0:10.0,654321.0:10.0,654321.0:10.0,654321.0:10.0,654321.0:10.0,654321.0:10.0,654321.0:10.0,654321.0:10.0,654321.0:10.0,654321.0:10.0,654321.0:10.0,654321.0:10.0,654321.0:10.0,654321.0:10.0,654321.0:10.0,654321.0:10.0,654321.0:10.0,654321.0:10.0,654321.0:10.0,654321.0:"; var myColumnHeaders2 = [ {key:"x",className:"col1"}, {key:"y",className:"col2"} ]; var myColumnSet2 = new YAHOO.widget.ColumnSet(myColumnHeaders2); var jsonPoints = formatStringToJSON(sample_input_data); alert(jsonPoints.data_points) var myDataSource2 = new YAHOO.util.DataSource(jsonPoints.data_points); myDataSource2.responseType = YAHOO.util.DataSource.TYPE_JSARRAY; myDataSource2.responseSchema = { fields: ["x","y"] }; var myDataTable2 = new YAHOO.widget.DataTable("scroll",myColumnSet2,myDataSource2,{scrollable:true}); function formatStringToJSON(inputString) { var point_sets = inputString.split(":"); var json_text = ""; for (x = 0; x < point_sets.length-1; x++) { var point = point_sets[x].split(","); json_text += "{ x: \"" + point[0] + "\", y: \"" + point[1] + "\"}, "; } return eval( 'data_points = { points: [' + json_text + '] } '); // return 1. //return eval( ' { points: [' + json_text + '] } '); // return 2. } [/code] When using return line 1 It neither works in FF nor IE saying "Loading data..." However, there are no errors in IE or FF (using firebug) When using return line 2 (and changing the alert statement and declaration of the Yahoo Datasource) It works in FF, but does not work in IE, stating "Loading data.." and there is an error in the code in IE only on line 774. Quite peculiar. Thanks for your response. [small](Edited by [url=http://www.ozoneasylum.com/user/2057]beaner[/url] on 06-08-2007 01:01)[/small] Loading...
