What would you like to see us add to this API?

What component is this issue related to (PieChart, LineChart, DataTable,
Query, etc)?

I am getting this same error in the console on the MotionChart.  I am running the FireFox
browser and  see the following in the error console when I click on the MotionChart:

Error: document.getElementById("google.visualization.MotionChart-0") is null

I also noticed that the example MotionChart here:

http://code.google.com/apis/visualization/documentation/gallery/motionchart.html

Also generates this error in the console whenever you select any of the fruits in on
the right side of the chart.

Just for completeness, the following motion chart example in the user gallery also is
has errors when the item selector is checked:

Here's one way to get rid of it:
(a) add something for it to eat: <span id="google.visualization.MotionChart-0"></span>

then you get an error on the event handler on the thing. So then add:

(b)document.getElementById("google.visualization.MotionChart-0").onMouseUpOutsideSwf
 = function(){};

to squelch the event.

The example on the google site doesn't work (and it'll kill other JS on any page it's
in). I'd say fixing that isn't precisely an "enhancement", it's a defect fix!
