I take it the problem is the chart is not showing, is that right? A couple of things to check: is the content set to HTML, so escape="false". Also, is the computed field rendered to the browser. If rendered is set to false, your code will not get passed to the browser.

When working with charts I usually put the same code in a second computed field, so I can debug it. I show that field (or set the rendered property so it only shows if I want it to) and also make sure escape is NOT false (i.e. set escape="true"), so it is not written to the screen as "pass-thru HTML", as it were.

I take it you've seen the two articles on the App Dev wiki, but if not, the first one is here: http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/ddwiki.nsf/dx/Dojox_Charting_for_XPages

There are also links to a sample database.

Re: javascript stops for no reason

Yes, Paul, I had the content set to HTML and escape to "false", and I read the articles in lotus.wiki with the dojotoolkit.org already being my homepage :-)) the articles are were very helpful!

But getting back to business, I finally handled the problem by rewriting the script and printing the results on a step by step basis, amazingly - with no changes at all. This is not the first time when I get into such kind of weird behavior - I already reported a case when the code on the source pane is doubled when you copy/paste elements on WYSIWYG pane.

Re: javascript stops for no reason

Yes, there have been a number of issues of copying and pasting into design pane causing duplicate code. I tend to paste into the source pane, which doesn't have the same problems and could be why it was not picked up in beta. From others who have raised PMRs on the issues, I believe it's being addressed in 8.5.3.
