On Page With Numerous HighCharts, One Particular Chart Not Displaying.

9 Views

I’m very new to coding, but have been really trying lately to learn how to use HighCharts. I have a WordPress page set up that shows 5 or 6 different HighCharts. They all work fine!

Except for one. This particular chart just leaves a big blank space where it is supposed to appear. It works in JSFiddle (as it should, since I’m just using HighChart’s boilerplate code).

See here: http://jsfiddle.net/gh/get/jquery/1.9.1/highslide-software/highcharts.com/tree/master/samples/highcharts/demo/bar-negative-stack/.

When I run my browser error console on my wordpress page where the chart is supposed to be, it says:

TypeError: $(…).highcharts is not a function

and points specifically to this line in the code:

$(‘#container6’).highcharts({

Here’s the full actual code for the chart: 

<head>

$(function () {
// Age categories
var categories = ['0-4', '5-9', '10-14', '15-19',

        }, { // mirror axis on right side
            opposite: true,
            reversed: false,

                    return Math.abs(this.value) + '%';
                }
            }
        },

        plotOptions: {
            series: {
                stacking: 'normal'
            }
        },

        tooltip: {
            formatter: function () {
                return '<b>' + this.series.name + ', age ' + this.point.category + '</b><br/>' +
                    'Population: ' + Highcharts.numberFormat(Math.abs(this.point.y), 0);
            }
        },

        series: [{
            name: 'Male',
            data: [-2.2, -2.2, -2.3, -2.5, -2.7, -3.1, -3.2,
                -3.0, -3.2, -4.3, -4.4, -3.6, -3.1, -2.4,
                -2.5, -2.3, -1.2, -0.6, -0.2, -0.0, -0.0]
        }, {
            name: 'Female',
            data: [2.1, 2.0, 2.2, 2.4, 2.6, 3.0, 3.1, 2.9,
                3.1, 4.1, 4.3, 3.6, 3.4, 2.6, 2.9, 2.9,
                1.8, 1.2, 0.6, 0.1, 0.0]
        }]
    });
});

});
</script>
<div id="container6" style="min-width: 310px; max-width: 800px; height: 400px; margin: 0 auto"></div>

I’m so appreciative of any help I can get. I’ve tried everything I can think of, and scoured StackOverflow for similar problems. But nothing so far has worked.

  1. Try yo use following code instead of $(‘#container6’).Highcharts({…});

    var chart = new Highcharts.Charts({
    chart:{
        renderTo:'container6',
        type: 'bar'
    },
    //other options
});
