Have an issue with JavaScript, AJAX code displaying data

I need some tips from you out there to come over a good solution on my problem with JavaScript, AJAX and JSON data. I want to fill a generic set with barcharts (I am using HighCharts) on my web page. The data is in JSON format which from the start I only used date and value as pair data set. The solution works fine of I had only one bar chart it, but I have a lot of charts on my page and I need to show all of them (up to twelve).
Now I want to adjust for displaying more than one graph. In the code below the DataMacro array works fine with the chart. It also has a hard coded ID matching a . Now I have a series of in the page like id=barchart11, id=barchar21, and so on. In the dataset I have made a tag called PanelCodeUI that I am going to use looping through the dataset. The problem is how to do that. The each-loop will now fill in all date,value for all vessels.
And further it I need to restructure the function which is displaying the barchart. The best thing would be to call a function with a data array and panelCodeUI id just replacing the name of the barchart and set in the datamacro as is. But I don’t know how to do this. The data is mixed between all vessels and I need to collect all data before sending to a function. So is the problem with AJAX and JavaScript with is asynchron. I need to ensure that it behaves correctly and fast.
Maybe I need to change my dataset, or I need to do this in several step like finding all vessel IDs then do another AJAX call to get date,value pair from a vessel and then displaying. I hope there is a way to do this with this data set and hope somebody can help me on this
Here is a bit of the JSON data set:
[
{"__type":"Demo.Entities.OilProductionLast5DaysEntity","Date":1465084800000,"Value":844,"VesselId":1,"SectorId":2,"PanelCodeUI":"21","VesselCodeUI":"21","VesselSorting":1},
{"__type":"Demo.Entities.OilProductionLast5DaysEntity","Date":1465084800000,"Value":8720,"VesselId":4,"SectorId":1,"PanelCodeUI":"11","VesselCodeUI":"12","VesselSorting":2},
{"__type":"Demo.Entities.OilProductionLast5DaysEntity","Date":1465084800000,"Value":948,"VesselId":5,"SectorId":1,"PanelCodeUI":"11","VesselCodeUI":"11","VesselSorting":1},
{"__type":"Demo.Entities.OilProductionLast5DaysEntity","Date":1465084800000,"Value":0,"VesselId":6,"SectorId":3,"PanelCodeUI":"31","VesselCodeUI":"31","VesselSorting":1},
{"__type":"Demo.Entities.OilProductionLast5DaysEntity","Date":1465171200000,"Value":2067,"VesselId":1,"SectorId":2,"PanelCodeUI":"21","VesselCodeUI":"21","VesselSorting":1}
]
And here is the JavaScript code so far:
$(function () {
var datamacro = [];
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: '../Services/HighChartService.asmx/GetOilProductionLast5DaysByActiveVessels',
data: '',
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json",
success: function (seriedata) {
console.log(JSON.stringify(seriedata.d));
var productions = seriedata.d;
$.each(productions, function (index, productions) {
var yval = productions.Value;
var xval = productions.Date;
var x = [xval, yval];
datamacro.push(x);
//alert("productions Name: " + productions.Date + "\nID: " + productions.Value);
});
$(function () {
//var bchart = '#barchart' + vesselindex.toString();
// want this to be looped with generic names like #barchart11, #barchart21, #barchart31 and so on
$('#barchart11').highcharts({
chart: {
type: 'column'
},
title: {
text: 'LAST FIVE DAYS'
},
subtitle: {
text: ''
},
xAxis: {
type: "datetime",
tickInterval: 24 * 3600 * 1000,
labels: {
rotation: -45,
align: 'right'
},
dateTimeLabelFormats: { // don't display the dummy year
day: '%e. %b',
},
//crosshair: true
},
credits: {
enabled: false
},
yAxis: {
labels: {
enabled: false
},
title: {
text: null
}
},
tooltip: {
formatter: function () {
return Highcharts.dateFormat('%d/%m/%Y', new Date(this.x)) + '<br/>' + ' in barrels: ' + this.y;
}
},
plotOptions: {
column: {
pointPadding: 0.2,
borderWidth: 0
}, series: {
pointRange: 24 * 3600 * 1000, // one day
pointInterval: 3600 * 1000
}
},
series: [{
//name: '',
showInLegend: false,
data: datamacro,
dataLabels: {
enabled: true,
rotation: -90,
color: '#FFFFFF',
align: 'right',
format: '{point.y:.1f}', // one decimal
y: 10, // 10 pixels down from the top
style: {
fontSize: '13px',
fontFamily: 'Verdana, sans-serif'
}
}
}]
});
});
},
error: function (r) {
alert(r.responseText);
},
failure: function (r) {
alert(r.responseText);
}
});
});

If i understand correctly, you would like to draw a chart for each different panelCodeUI ?
If that's the case, change your code after AJAX success with that :
var productions = seriedata.d;
var listPanelCodeUI = productions.map(function(p){return p.PanelCodeUI}).filter(function(item, pos, self) {
return self.indexOf(item) == pos;
});
//listPanelCodeUI : [21,11,31]
listPanelCodeUI.sort();
listPanelCodeUI.forEach(function(e){
datamacro = [];
//Create a div for each panelCodeUI
$("body").append("<div id='barchart" + e + "'></div>");
var divId = "#barchart"+e;
//Filter productions for specific panelCodeUI
var data = productions.filter(function(p){return p.panelCodeUI === e});
data.forEach(function(d){
var yval = d.Value;
var xval = d.Date;
var x = [xval, yval];
datamacro.push(x);
});
$(function () {
$(divId).highcharts({
...
})
})
}

That's what you need to parse your data:
charts = [];
$.each(productions.map(function(el) {
return el.PanelCodeUI;
}).filter(function(el, index, arr) {
return arr.indexOf(el) === index;
}), function(index,PanelCodeUI) {
var serie = productions.filter(function(el) {
return el.PanelCodeUI === PanelCodeUI;
});
$.each(serie, function(index, production) {
datamacro.push([production.Value, production.Date]);
});
drawChart('#barchart' + PanelCodeUI, 'LAST FIVE DAYS', datamacro);
});
Also i made this helper function to create the charts:
function drawChart(containerID, chartTitle, data) {
charts.push(new Highchart.Chart({
chart: {
type: 'column',
renderTo: containerID
},
title: {
text: chartTitle
},
subtitle: {
text: ''
},
xAxis: {
type: "datetime",
tickInterval: 24 * 3600 * 1000,
labels: {
rotation: -45,
align: 'right'
},
dateTimeLabelFormats: { // don't display the dummy year
day: '%e. %b',
},
//crosshair: true
},
credits: {
enabled: false
},
yAxis: {
labels: {
enabled: false
},
title: {
text: null
}
},
tooltip: {
formatter: function() {
return Highcharts.dateFormat('%d/%m/%Y', new Date(this.x)) + '<br/>' + ' in barrels: ' + this.y;
}
},
plotOptions: {
column: {
pointPadding: 0.2,
borderWidth: 0
},
series: {
pointRange: 24 * 3600 * 1000, // one day
pointInterval: 3600 * 1000
}
},
series: [{
//name: '',
showInLegend: false,
data: data,
dataLabels: {
enabled: true,
rotation: -90,
color: '#FFFFFF',
align: 'right',
format: '{point.y:.1f}', // one decimal
y: 10, // 10 pixels down from the top
style: {
fontSize: '13px',
fontFamily: 'Verdana, sans-serif'
}
}
}]
}));
}

Passing data with a search variable to Highcharts not working

As said in the title, I'm actually making a small application where you can look for a random name into a database and it shows you the adequate chart (the chart that shows the searched name's data).
It works well when I tried that by puting a static name in my data.php file (from where the chart takes the data). But when I used $_GET[ 'search' ] instead it didn't show anything. (I checked my data.php and it returns the JSON correctly) so I guess it comes from HighCharts.
Do you by chance know what could be the problem please?
Here's some parts of my code so you can understand what I'm saying.
data.php
<?php
try
{
$bdd = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=nsui', 'root', '', array(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE => PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION));

$reponse = $bdd->query($sql);
$bln = array();
$bln['name'] = 'Period_start_time';

$reponse->closeCursor();

chart = new Highcharts.Chart(options);
});
});
</script>
In my search page I've put a code like :
<?php
...
...
global $search;
$button = $_GET [ 'submit' ];
$search = $_GET [ 'search' ];
...
...
$html.=<<<HTML
<div class="box alt">

<div id="container_call" class="6u 6u(xsmall)">
HTML;
include ('chart.php');
$html.=<<<HTML
</div>
</div>
</div>
...
?>
And of course with the adequate javascript for highcharts etc. When I click on the button search in my home page it redirects me to my search page.
Thank you in advance.

Highcharts using JSON - graph not displaying mysql data

I have been able to produce results from mysql using:
$myArray=array();
$tempArray = array();
// Get all records
while ( $row = $results->fetch_assoc())
{
$tempArray = $row;
array_push($myArray, $tempArray);
}
echo json_encode($myArray);
$mysqli->close();
?>
And I then included this to produce a chart on my page index.php by using the following Javascript.
what concepts/code am I not understanding/missing to produce a chart based upon my ajax json?
EDITED - SOLUTION:
Final PHP code to produce the json:
while ( $row = $results->fetch_assoc())
{
$tempArray[0] = $row['unix_timestamp(auct.end_date)'];
$tempArray[0] *= 1000;
$tempArray[1] = $row['winning_bid'];
array_push($myArray, $tempArray);
}
echo json_encode ($myArray, JSON_NUMERIC_CHECK);
$mysqli->close();
?>
Final javascript code:
$('#btn_search').click(function(){
txt_search = $('#txt_search').val();
$.ajax({
url: './php/search.php',
type: 'GET',
data: {search: txt_search},
dataType: 'json',
success: function(rows)
{
chart = new Highcharts.Chart({
chart: {
renderTo: 'chartdiv',
type: 'line',
marginRight: 100,
marginBottom: 50
},
title: {
text: 'Whisky Tracking',
x: -20 //center
},
xAxis: {
text: 'EndDate',
type: 'datetime'
},
yAxis: {
title: {
text: 'Price',
color: '#CC680E'
},
plotLines: [{
value: 0,
width: 20,
color: '#CC680E'
}]
},
series: [{
name: txt_search,
xAxis:0,
data: rows,
dataLabels: {
enabled: true,
formatter: function() {
return '£'+ Highcharts.numberFormat(this.y, 0);
}
}
}],
});
}
});
goToByScroll('tracker');
return false;
});
Sample Data from the JSON:
[1306732000000,160],[1306745000000,45],[1306788000000,65],[1306788000000,50],[1306712000000,130],[1306733000000,240],[1306744000000,60],[1306788000000,250],[1306710000000,145]

The problem is that values are strings, for example, your data:
["2011-05-30 00:00:00","130"]
Should be instead:
[1306706400000, 130]
To it's timestamp in ms and true value.
You can read about JSON_NUMERIC_CHECK option for json_encode(string, JSON_NUMERIC_CHECK) to change strings to numbers. But dates to timestamps you need to change on your own.
Edit:
Also the problem was with setting data in doubled array, changed from:
data: [rows]
to:
data: rows

Javascript+Highcharts: Substituting series.data for my own

I've been doing this script for a volunteering university-site job.
Please ignore all parameters apart from wattages and schools. Those are SQL result sets that have been converted to arrays using json_encode(). Result sets have Strings as values, I believe, so both wattages and schools should be arrays of strings.
What I want to do is input my own data for the pie graph, in this case mySeries, which I build/fill up at the start and put as data later.
function createPieChartGradient(data,title,xlabel,ylabel,type,step,div_id,wattages,schools){
var float_watt = new Array();
for(var index = 0; index < wattages.length; index++)
{
float_watt[index] = parseFloat(wattages[index]).toFixed(2);
}
var mySeries = []; //Hopefully this creates a [String, number] array that can be used as Data.
for (var i = 0; i < float_watt.length; i++) {
mySeries.push([schools[i], float_watt[i]]);
}
var options = {
chart: {
renderTo: 'graph',
zoomType: 'x',
defaultSeriesType: type
},
title: {
text: 'Consumption Percentage of IHU Schools, Last 7 days'
},
tooltip: {
//pointFormat: '{series.name}: <b>{point.percentage:.1f}%</b>'
},
xAxis: {
categories: [],
tickPixelInterval: 150,
// maxZoom: 20 * 1000,
title: {
style: {
fontSize: '14px'
},
text: xlabel
},
labels: {
rotation: -45,
step: step,
align: 'right'//,
// step: temp
}
},
yAxis: {
title: {
style: {
fontSize: '14px'
},
text: ylabel
},
labels: {
align: 'right',
formatter: function() {
return parseFloat(this.value).toFixed(2);
}
},
min: 0
},
legend: {
layout: 'vertical',
align: 'right',
verticalAlign: 'center',
floating: true,
shadow: true
},
series: [{
type: 'pie',
name: 'Consumption Percentage',
data: mySeries //Problematic line.
}] //Faculty with the smallest wattage -> Green.
}; //end of var options{} //Next: -> Yellow.
//Last -> Red.
//Draw the chart.
var chart = new Highcharts.Chart(options); //TODO: Change colours.
document.write("FINISHED");
}
The thing is, the above won't work. Since I'm not using an environment (writing in notepad++ and testing on my apache web server, via the results) I have manually aliminated the problematic line to be data: mySeries.
Any idea why that is? Aren't they the same type of array, [String, number]?
Additionally, are there any environments that will help me debug javascript programs? I'm really at my wit's end with this situation and I'd very much prefer to have an IDE tell me what's wrong, or at least point me at the right direction.

You see where you are calling "toFixed"? Let's run a small experiment:
var wattages = [2.0, 3.0];
var float_watt = new Array();
for(var index = 0; index < wattages.length; index++)
{
float_watt[index] = parseFloat(wattages[index]).toFixed(2);
}
console.log(JSON.stringify(float_watt));
The output is not what you expect:
["2.00", "3.00"]
See how it got converted to a string? If you delete the "toFixed" and let your formatter do its job, things will go just fine.
EDIT
Here's how you fix your formatter:
plotOptions: {
pie: {
dataLabels: {
formatter: function() {
return parseFloat(this.y).toFixed(2);
}
}
}
},
The yLabels formatter is doing nothing for the pie.

How do I add commas in data values

I need to add commas in the data values to display from 123456 to 123,456. I have tried searching numerous forums and supports but I just don't understand what I need to do.
This is the current script code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
$('#container').highcharts({
chart: {

marginRight: 130,
marginBottom: 25
},

},
subtitle: {
text: 'Source: Name and site www.url.com',
x: -20
},
xAxis: {
categories: ['Jul-12', 'Aug-12', 'Sep-12', 'Oct-12', 'Nov-12', 'Dec-12',
'Jan-13', 'Feb-13', 'Mar-13', 'Apr-13']
},
yAxis: {
title: {
text: 'Price'
},
plotLines: [{
value: 0,
width: 1,
color: '#7c1440'
}]
},
tooltip: {
valueSuffix: ''
},
legend: {
layout: 'vertical',
align: 'right',
verticalAlign: 'top',
x: -10,
y: 100,
borderWidth: 0
},
series: [{
name: 'HERC Index Value',
data: [230570, 231055, 231055, 232325, 232914, 241636, 241748, 241748, 242330, 242633]
}]
});
});
</script>
I need the 'data:' values to display as: data: [230,570, 231,055, 231,055, 232,325, 232,914, 241,636, 241,748, 241,748, 242,330, 242,633].

It seems that so far, many answers are very overly complicated.
Clarification of what your end result need is will be very helpful.
However, I am going to go out on a limb and suggest that what you need is not commas in your data values that the chart will use, but a formatted number displayed on the data label, tool tip, or axis label.
If that's the case, you can use a combination of the appropriate formatter for whichever of those areas you want to affect the display of:
http://api.highcharts.com/highcharts#tooltip.formatter
http://api.highcharts.com/highcharts#plotOptions.series.dataLabels.formatter
http://api.highcharts.com/highcharts#yAxis.labels.formatter
and the numberFormat function:
http://api.highcharts.com/highcharts#Highcharts.numberFormat%28%29
If I misunderstand your need, please clarify.

In Highcharts, your data format need to be number, not string. However, why can't you use simple format with point:
data: [230.570, 231.055, 231.055, 232.325, 232.914, 241.636, 241.748, 243.748, 242.330, 242.633]
Ant then, when displaying Highcharts, display comma instead: http://api.highcharts.com/highcharts#lang.decimalPoint

Use Array.map(), it will create a new list from another with some conditions you want.
var arr = [230570, 231055, 231055, 232325, 232914, 241636, 241748, 241748, 242330, 242633],
parsed = arr.map(function(element, index, array) {
var string = element.toString(),
part1 = string.substring(0, 3),
part2 = string.substring(3);
return part1 + "," + part2;
});
alert(parsed);
Since it is not fully supported you can also do this with a for loop, define element as arr[i] and you're done!
var arr = [230570, 231055, 231055, 232325, 232914, 241636, 241748, 241748, 242330, 242633],
parsed = [];
for(var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
var string = arr[i].toString();
part1 = string.substring(0, 3),
part2 = string.substring(3);
parsed.push(part1 + "," + part2);
}
alert(parsed);
The modified data will look like this:
var data = [230570, 231055, 231055, 232325, 232914, 241636, 241748, 241748, 242330, 242633],
parsed = data.map(function (element, index, array) {
var string = element.toString(),
part1 = string.substring(0, 3),
part2 = string.substring(3);
return part1 + "," + part2;
}),
obj = {
chart: {
type: 'line',
marginRight: 130,
marginBottom: 25
},
title: {
text: 'Graph Title',
x: -20 //center
},
subtitle: {

},

title: {

},
plotLines: [{

}]
},

},

x: -10,
y: 100,
borderWidth: 0
},
series: [{
name: 'HERC Index Value',
data: parsed
}]
};
$('#container').highcharts(obj);
Remember that parsed will be an array of strings, because commas in lists are used to define new elements!
