Google Vis does not work on Nook

[Tim Kindberg]

I'm having an issue where my site will not display the charts when viewed from a Nook (I know, I know... who cares... its just a Nook), but client would like it to work on Nook if possible. Anyway, even when I go to the code playground the same error happens, so its definitely not specific to my site. The error says "Cannot set property "overflow" of null".

Does anyone know if Nook is supposed to be supported? Is there a fix for this? I have no idea how to debug javascript from a Nook.

The charts require SVG support in the browser.  I don't know if the Nook's browser supports SVG or not, but I would guess not given the problems you have.

Hi Tim,

Right now we only support outputting to SVG or VML. Unfortunately, the Nook's browser is based on the old android mobile browser, which didn't get support for SVG until version 3.0. Since the Nook doesn't support either SVG or VML, there's no easy way to get it to work.
