Anyone using Highcharts with their player?
« on: August 29, 2013, 10:31:25 AM »
The problem we're running into is the HTML5 in the mediabox (we're using mediabox 200) isn't able to render two charts on the screen at once.  This only occurs when in the device, using any regular browser - even older IE browsers work fine, but not from the device - only one chart prints.

As a test I pointed the HTML5 component to the frontpage of highcharts.com and instead of the charts there it's simply a blank area.

We had the same issue with other charting instances where the charts were embedded in an iframe. I think the html component may be limited in this respect.

That kinda sucks bad... I ended up working around it by creating a second timeline and splitting the page vertically and embedding 2 HTML5 components to get 2 charts on the page, but it's a hack workaround sadly.

The big problem is that the HTML component takes up the whole page. It is similar to a PNG that has transparent background but only allows 1 layer to be there at a time.
