Chart2D Not Rendering in IE8

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I have a Chart2D within a cell in a VerticalPanel, which, in turn, is the 
primary child of a PopupPanel. It happens to be a line chart. This chart 
renders just fine in Safari 5.0.5, Chrome 12.0.742.100 and FireFox 4.0.1. It 
does not render in IE8. I am also using a Slider widget (not on the 
PopupPanel), which renders just fine in all browsers.

I am using GWT 2.3.0 and Tatami 1.4.

I have tested Safari, Chrome and FireFox on Mac OS X 10.6.7.
I have tested IE8 and FireFox on Windows XP and Windows 7.

I have additional information regarding this issue.

I am seeing the following error: 'this.rawNode.path' is null or not and object.

This is occurring at eval code, line 8 character 8698.

At this location, I see the following assignment: 
this.rawNode.path.v=_4d.join(" ");

Hi, I'm having this same problem, have you discovered any further information 
or some kind of workaround? I haven't seen an error myself though.

No, I have not found a solution for this problem. I opted to make use of GWT 
Graphics, which is a vector graphics library for GWT. You can find it here:

If anyone else ever happens to read this. I fixed it by modifying the choice of 
renderer that tatami makes in the charting_module js file. If you make IE9 use 
SVG, IE8 use canvas, and IE7 use VML it should work in all of them.

Kely, how did you do that (specifying renderer per browser)?   I'm stumped with 
an in house app that I've written.  FFX/Chrome/Safari are all great. IE 8 blows.

Hmm, I'm not entirely sure at this point, I wish I had written more detail back 
then. My guess is I was talking about a file which may not actually be used any 
more. It does look like you can fiddle around with gfx.js though, which is 
located in trunk/tatamiJS/src/com/objetdirect/tatami/public/dojox/gfx.js

Alternatively, there is a file called tatami_charting_module.js which has some 
references to dojox.gfx.renderer but it looks like it's in a sample folder so 
I'm not sure how useful that's going to be.

We solved this problem by moving the render() call from postCreate() into 
startup(). I guess there are certain widgets that are not available until 
startup().
