Hi,

I am trying to make a charts with legends on IE8.
My web application can not go collect the info through YAHOO, so I included the framework 3.5.1 in the application.
I started by using this method :

I found the the javascript needed using the YUI configurator with charts and charts-legend selected : http://yuilibrary.com/yui/configurator/
This didn't work but I added to that : "attribute", "base", "dd", "dom", "event", "event-custom", "event-simulate", "node", "pluginhost", "yui". And it worked on firefox.

On IE I tried the same thing (going on the yui configurator with IE shows you the specific IE librairie needed), but it didn't work.

I saw an easier way that doesn't seem to work neither for me on IE8 :


Does someone have a idea of what I should try ?

Thank you

Thank you for answerring so fast Tripp.


For now, I get an "Y.Chart is not a constructor".
I downloaded the whole YUI3.5.1 frameworks there : mtmclient-web/src/main/webapp/frameworks/yui

And I am simply trying to make the code that was working earlier using the : <script src="http://yui.yahooapis.com/3.5.1/build/yui/yui-min.js"></script> without this, but in local.

For this I added :
<script type="text/javascript" src="/mtmclient-web/src/main/webapp/frameworks/yui/3.5.1/build/yui/yui.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/mtmclient-web/src/main/webapp/frameworks/yui/3.5.1/build/loader/loader.js"></script>
to my .jsp page.

In my javascript page I wrote :

In fact, by doing that, my page is still going out to download via the YAHOO plateform...
I don't really understand it anymore.

Is it possible to make this work without going through YAHOO ?

In your example, you are setting combine to true. Setting combine to true causes loader to use a combo service. By default, loader will use the combo service on yahooapis. You can change this by setting the comboBase property to the base path of your combo service but you will need to set up your own combo service. More info is documented here:
http://yuilibrary.com/yui/docs/api/classes/Loader.html

I found this thread which contains more info on running your own combo service:

Alternatively, you can choose to skip the combo service altogether and the loader will load necessary files directly from your server.

The only performance hit you'll take from setting the combine property to false is more js files. (they won't be combined)

The easiest way to have files served from your server is to have the yui seed file served from you server. By default, the loader will server the files from the same place as your seed. (yui-min.js) The files will only be served from yahooapis if you serve your seed from yahooapis or you specify it do so in your config. (e.g. setting combine to true)

The below would serve files from your site: (yoursite.com)


This would also serve files from your site:
