Using javascript with vizard

[Ritesh Agrawal]

I want to embed my javascript based visualization model into a screen in virtual world. However vizhtml is not working with javascript. Nothing is displayed if I use vizhtml module to load website. For example if I try to open website www.d3js.org and when I go to examples page (containing Javascript based models) then nothing is displayed on the screen.
Is it possible to execeute that Javascript in window? Actually I want to implement similar model which is given in d3js.org (http://mbostock.github.com/d3/talk/2...-parallel.html). Please provide the suitable solution.

Thanks

The embedded browser is based on the Windows native web browser control. It appears that the browser defaults to IE7 mode, and the web page you are trying to view is not compatible with IE7.

However, you can specify which version of IE to use for the embedded browser through a registry setting. The following sample code will force the embedded browser to use IE9 and then opens the sample page you previously mentioned.

import viz
viz.go()

import _winreg
reg = _winreg.OpenKey(_winreg.HKEY_CURRENT_USER, r'Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION',0,_winreg.KEY_ALL_ACCESS)
_winreg.SetValueEx(reg,'VizHTMLViewer.exe',0,_winreg.REG_DWORD,9999)

viz.window.displayHTML('http://mbostock.github.com/d3/talk/20111116/iris-parallel.html')

The chart appears to render properly within the browser now.
