AnyChart 6.0 with HTML5 Support Available
We are glad to announce the release of AnyChart 6.0 containing an HTML5 (SVG based) version of our component.
Our aim is to make the HTML5 version a complete substitution for the Flash version as well as to make the switch to HTML5 as easy as possible. Another thing that we see as a highest priority is the compatibility of our component with different browsers and platforms.
So key features of the HTML5 version are the following:
- HTML5 charts are configured exactly the same way as Flash ones - in XML.
- The names of API methods are the same.
- The HTML5 version is designed to work in all up-to-date versions of popular desktop browsers, such as Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Opera.
- It is also compatible with popular browsers for the mobile platforms Android (2.2+) and iOS (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch).
Though we have fully integrated the HTML5 version with our documentation as well as with the redistributable package, HTML5 support is still in the beta phase. Not all chart types and not all features are available for the moment, and we do not yet guarantee that all your charts in SVG version will look and work exactly like they do in Flash version.
However, we are going to cover all Flash version features by the HTML5 engine by the end of the year, and you will be able to upgrade your charts without any significant changes in your web sites and applications.
You can see how our HTML5 engine works in the examples from the Documentation and Gallery sections - just select an HTML5 tab when you view a chart. In case the features required to display a certain sample are not ready yet, you will see a relevant message.
To review an instruction on implementation, see HTML5 Migration Guide tutorial.
We are working hard to make the HTML5 version work exactly like the Flash version, and AnyChart will be updated each 1 or 2 weeks this fall. Check our web site or subscribe to our blog RSS or Twitter to be always aware of the latest changes.
Thank you once again for the interest in AnyChart - Modern Data Visualization Solution.

On the latest versions of Android - yes.

For IPAD - Do you support multiple chart display in a page? Currently we are using Any chart 4.x version in our website. But when we downloaded V6.0.6 and try to make it compatible for IPAD it is not working. This means, single charts in a page in IPAD is working but if we need to display multiple charts in one page, IPAD compatibility is not working. We are ready to buy the new version once it is tested and proved that AnyChart will work in IPAD with multiple charts.

Joseph,
yes multiple charts are supported.

it appears that your SVG is not supported by Firefox browser, is this true and if so will this be fixed?

Sean,
all the latest versions do support SVG, yet there was an issue in 6.0.7 release of AnyChart that prevented correct rendering, the issue will be fixed in 6.0.8 update.

Hi,
We are facing a problem with HTML5 on IE and mobile devices. Therefore i wanted to make sure that the HTML5 chart is working ok on the mobile device or IE. Then i tried to open AnyChart HTML5 examples on the IE 8 and IE9 but i was not able to do. Because they are giving an error that says; “this.F is null or not an object.”
This error happens for all the HTML5 examples of Anychart. Try this link;

Thanks,

Does Oracle have a license for the HTML5 version so that it can be included in Oracle’s Application Express (Apex) product?

Jason,
no, for the moment there is no such option.

Hi,
I am looking for a bubble chart component to integrate in my ASPnet MVC3 application.
Do you think that the html5 version should work in MVC3 ( with ajax call for feeding the chart )
DO you have samples for ASPNET MVC ?
May 23rd, 2012 at 6:14 am
Yes, it should work, but such samples are not yet ready yet, unfortunately.
