Re: Scatter chart regression in IE8

I can view the charts just fine in IE 8.

We have an app using Google Visualization that has been deployed for about a month with no issues. Today, I got an email from our client saying that the charts are no longer showing up on IE8. The app is here:

http://environment.data.gov.uk/lab/bwq-web.html

and a typical data page to look at would be:

http://environment.data.gov.uk/lab/bwq-sample-data.html?site=ukj2204-14000

There should be six scatter plots on that page showing bacterial colony concentrations, and there are on Firefox, Chrome and IE9. But the graphs don't appear any more on IE8. What's weird is that there's also no error message in the JavaScript console, and I can single-step through the code in the debugger right up to the point where new google.visualization.ScatterChart() is called. The data series are all there, and the options look OK (and haven't changed), but the chart doesn't draw.

I'm kind of at a loss to know what to do to debug this now, and would welcome any suggestions!

Thanks,
Ian

Thanks for checking.

Hmm. The charts have come back for me as well. I haven't changed the deployed code at all. Rather worrying really.
