I am new to HighCharts and I am trying to display 2 graphs on the same x-axis) axis like shown here: http://jsfiddle.net/gh/get/library/pure/highcharts/highcharts/tree/master/samples/highcharts/demo/combo-multi-axes/.
However, I get an error message: This error happens when you set a series' xAxis or yAxis property to point to an axis that does not exist.
The error occurs in "chart1"
The html and JAVASCRIPT code is as follows:
$(function updat() {
var url = "https://xpm4zyor39.execute-api.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/prod/entries";
var humid = [],
date = [],
high=[],
day=[],

humid_final = [],
day_final=[],
high_final=[],
chanceOfRain_final=[]
$.getJSON(url, function (json) {
$(json['Items']).each(function(i, data) {
//Store indicator name
// fill the date array
humid.push(data.humidity);
// fill the string data array
date.push(data.Date);
high.push(data.high);
day.push(data.Day);
chanceOfRain.push(data.chanceOfRain);
});
console.log(date);
// query send string that we need to convert into numbers
for (var i = 0; i < humid.length; i++) {
if (humid[i] != null) {
humid_final.push(parseFloat(humid[i]));
high_final.push(parseFloat(high[i]));
day_final.push(parseFloat(day[i]));

} else {

console.log("day_final", day_final);

You are doing the following:
series:[{
yAxis:1,
},
{
yAxis:2,
}]
You need to do:
series:[{
yAxis:0,
},
{
yAxis:1,
}]
The problem is that axes start indexing at 0. So your index where you set temperature to axis 2 does not work because there is no axis 2. In the demo there are 3 axes, which is why it works with these definitions.
I am creating a chart and have so far found that a scatter and errorbar combination chart is the best fit. I have hit a problem when adding an extra pair of series that because I have used a scatter, that they are placed on top of each other.
This is the standard view for the chart which is correct:
This is what I WANT to happen when I add an extra pair of series data:

I have taken a look through the API and I have tried to use other chart types like Line and Column and although they do align correctly, the error bar pretty much disappears because those chart types start from zero. I've also tried pointPlacement but that just moves them both into the middle. Is what I am trying to do just not possible using a scatter?
You should use pointPlacement, but set per particular series. I prepared a minified demo for you:
series: [{
type: 'scatter',
pointPlacement:-0.2,
data: [51,73]
},{
type: 'scatter',
pointPlacement:0.2,
data: [8,7.6]
},{
type: 'errorbar',
pointPlacement:-0.2,
data: [[48, 51], [68, 73]]
}, {
type: 'errorbar',
pointPlacement:0.2,
data: [[6, 8], [5.9, 7.6]]
}]

I have this annoying thing in Highcharts that I cannot figure out. I have graphs that are dynamically generated and can contain multiple columns and splines. In the example the spline is a temperature measurement and contains lots of data points. The two columns are grouped by day and therefore contain only one value per day.
When I use this combination the column width becomes almost invisible:

I have been searching for ways to dynamically control the width of columns by using pointWidth but this gets me into a hole new area of issues, as I am not always sure if there is a combination of columns and splines and what the date range is.
Is there a trick to solve this? I hope I have missed something simple.
I was reading through the API description of Highcharts when I noticed an option to have multiple x axis. Since my problem seemed to be related to scaling on the x axis I decided to give it a go...
I created a new x axis for the line data and it works like a charm. Of course we do not want to see multiple x axis, so a little fiddling with the settings hides it again.
My x axis definition now looks like this:
xAxis: [{
type: 'datetime',
},{
type: 'datetime',
lineWidth: 0,
minorGridLineWidth: 0,
lineColor: 'transparent',
opposite: true,
labels: {
enabled: false
},
minorTickLength: 0,
tickLength: 0
}],
On the data series that has 'too many' points I simply added 'xAxis: 1'.
