hc_motion plugin's slider is not contained within htmlwidget

[mwillumz]

I'm able to create highcharter widgets and include them in markdown output. However, in a format such as flexboards I notice that the slider is just below the content. In fact, this is true for standard html output as well and the slider often overlaps with the following content.

There's some css issues, I'll try to fix this. Have you a reproducible example for test?

Thanks!

Sure (though I'm not sure how to best drop the rmarkdown file in here. An *.Rmd file that looks like the following will mask the slider while switching to output: html_document reveals it.

### Chart 1

```{r}
library(highcharter); library(dplyr)
highchart() %>% 
  hc_chart(type = "column") %>% 
  hc_yAxis(max = 6, min = 0) %>% 
  hc_add_series(name = "A", data = c(2,3,4), zIndex = -10) %>% 
  hc_add_series(name = "B",
                data = list(
                  list(sequence = c(1,2,3,4)),
                  list(sequence = c(3,2,1,3)),
                  list(sequence = c(2,5,4,3))
                )) %>% 
  hc_add_series(name = "C",
                data = list(
                  list(sequence = c(3,2,1,3)),
                  list(sequence = c(2,5,4,3)),
                  list(sequence = c(1,2,3,4))
                )) %>% 
  hc_motion(enabled = TRUE,
            labels = 2000:2003,
            series = c(1,2))

Somewhat counter intuitively it appears that the "play-controls" div should not be nested within the html-widget div but instead follow it. I'm honestly not sure how to make this change in your package (otherwise I happily would).

Any news on this? Have the same problem here using flexdashboard with rows orientation.

Also getting this issue in a shiny dashboard... can't figure out a way to move the motion button. Did you find any way @Morais14 ?

Unfortunately I didn't find a solution to the problem.
