Question

I use highchart so, the user can close and open the chart page and redraw the chart, in some case give me this error, how can I fix it, Thanks Here is my code

 function populateGraph(graph1data1,graph1data2,id,time,bottomText,tickinterval){
$(function () {
  $('#'+id).highcharts({
      chart: {
          type: 'line'
      },
      xAxis: {
        tickWidth: 0,
        categories: ['1,2,3,4']
      },
      yAxis: {
        gridLineColor: '#fff',
          title: {
              text: ''
          },
          labels: {
              formatter: function() {
                  return '';
              }
          }              
      },
      navigation: {
        buttonOptions: {
            enabled: false
        }
    },
      series: [{
          name: 'This ',
          data: [1,2,3,4],
          color: '#1e71ef'     
      }, {
          name: 'Last ',
          data: [5,6,7,8],
          color:'#dfe0e1'
      }]
  });
});
}
}




       function loadOnlineDashboardChannel(channel){
          $.ajax({
          type: "get",
          dataType: 'html',
          data: {},
          url: "/companies/2/online_dashboard_channel",
          success: function(data, status){ 
          var obj = JSON.parse(data);
          var template_data = { 
            measures_list:   
              obj.measures         
          };
          $(function() { 
        var tmplHTML_measures = '{{#measures_list}} <div class="col-lg-11  col-lg-offset-1"><p class="indicator-title gray-bottom-border">{{name}}</br></p><div><p><span class="font30px">{{total}} </span> Total {{name}}<br><span class="green-text">{{increase}}%</span> from last <span class="metric_time"></span></p></div><div class="graph-header"><h3>{{this_interval}} </h3><p>New {{name}}</p><p class="percentage-graph green-text">{{percentag e}}%<p></div><div id={{graph_id}} class="graph"></div> </div>{{/measures_list}}';   
          Handlebars.render = function(tmpl, data){data = data || {};return                                                       Handlebars.compile(tmpl)(data);};  
      $("#template").empty().append(Handlebars.render(tmplHTML_measures,template_data) );
      var data_graph;
      for ( var i = 0; i < obj.measures.length; i++ ) {
        data_graph=obj.measures[i];
                      populateGraph(data_graph.this_interval_detail,data_graph.last_interval_detail,data_graph.graph_id,time,obj.bottom_graph_text,parseInt($('#timeframe-select').find(":selected").attr('interval')) );
      }              
     })


  },
  error: function(error) {

}
});

return this;
};

I use handlebar so in this part in var tmplHTML_measures I create the div, in the for I call the function to draw the chart.

Thanks, I repeat sometimes it works perfectly and sometimes fail give me the error #13

Answer 1

For me error was resolved when I placed the calling script after the HTML element.

Like;

<div id="container"></div>

<script>    
Highcharts.chart('container', {
// some script here
});
</script>

Also if you check on high chart site it says:

    This error occurs if the chart.renderTo option is misconfigured so that
Highcharts is unable to find the HTML element to render the chart in.

Answer 2

I faced the same error and what I got to know is that Error#13 occurs when HighCharts.js tries to access an element which is not present in the DOM.

How I fixed it? I made sure that the HightCharts method is called only after my targeted element is created in the DOM. Bingo!!!! Everything worked fine.
