HighCharts uncaught exception

Question

I am trying to run the same code in this jsFiddle locally but I got error from firebug

uncaught exception: Highcharts error #13: www.highcharts.com/errors/1         


        

Answer 1

The element/div you are trying to render the chart to is missing

A standard set of logs that I would use to troubleshoot highcharts error #13 are

        console.log("JSON: " + JSON.stringify(chartingOptions));
        console.log("Render to element with ID : " + chartingOptions.chart.renderTo);
        console.log("Number of matching dom elements : " + $("#" + chartingOptions.chart.renderTo).length);

These should be added just before calling the Highcharts constructor

        chart = new Highcharts.Chart(chartingOptions);

If all is well you should see the correct element ID, and length as 1.

Here is the log that is seen for the demo above

JSON: {"chart":{"renderTo":"container"...}}
Render to element with ID : container
Number of matching dom elements : 1
