Highcharts Error #16: charts not showing on the same page

Question

i have a website, one page i have successfully added an highchart.

now i copied exactly the same code to the same page, but diffrent asp page, but the first chart has disappeared and the 2nd chart is not showing.

it is giving me an error:

Uncaught Highcharts error #16: www.highcharts.com/errors/16 highcharts.js:16
Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ILLEGAL Dashboard.aspx:657
Uncaught TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method 'highcharts' Dashboard.aspx:405
Uncaught TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method 'draggable' 

any ideas why am getting this.

so my code for the new chart i want:

 <script type="text/javascript"
$(function () { 
 $('#container').highcharts({
    chart: {
        type: 'bar'
    },
    title: {
        text: 'Fruit Consumption'
    },
    xAxis: {
        categories: ['Apples', 'Bananas', 'Oranges']
    },
    yAxis: {
        title: {
            text: 'Fruit eaten'
        }
    },
    series: [{
        name: 'Jane',
        data: [1, 0, 4]
    }, {
        name: 'John',
        data: [5, 7, 3]
    }]
});
});​
></script>

the chart that is working has the following code:

 <script type="text/javascript"     src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.highcharts.com/highcharts.js"></script>



  <script type="text/javascript">

   $(function() {

       $('#container').highcharts({
           chart: {
               type: 'column'
           },
           title: {
               text: 'Chart'
           },
           xAxis: {
           categories: array1
           },
           yAxis: {
               title: {
                   text: 'aWH'
               }
           },
           tooltip: {
               pointFormat: "Value: {point.y:.1f} mm"
           },

           series: [{

               name: '2011-2012',
               color: '#0000FF',
               data: array
           },
           {

               name: '2012-2013',
               color: '#92D050',
               data: array3
           },


             {

                 color: '#FF0000',
                 name: '2013-2014',
                 data: array2
}]
       });

   });

</script>

the 2nd chart shows.

You can use this way to wrap the code which runs Highcharts.js library.:

if (!window.HighchartsUniqueName) {
  window.HighchartsUniqueName = true;

  // .. your code which runs Highcharts.js library here ... 

}

I found it here https://stackoverflow.com/a/5154971 and it works for me.

In this way you don't need to put your script in the MasterPage if you don't want.

Be sure to use a very unique name, since it's a global variable.

Also keep in mind that the Highcharts.Chart constructor and all features of Highcharts are included in Highstock, so if you are running Chart and StockChart in combination, you only need to load the highstock.js file or you can wrap it in the same way.
