Flot Graph is not rendering on IE9



You might have come across a situation when you use jquery.flot.js for graphs ,flot graphs were not generated in IE9 due to the following Javascript Error in "jquery.flot.js" file. While debugging you will get the error like :
"unable to get value of the property "init_" : object is null or undefined ".

In  the method ConstuctCanvas(), in place of this snippet:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
function makeCanvas(width, height)
      {
        var c = document.createElement('canvas');
        c.width = width;
        c.height = height;
        if ($.browser.msie) // excanvas hack
          c = window.G_vmlCanvasManager.initElement(c);
        return c;
      }
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Use the following snippet
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
function makeCanvas(width, height) {
       var c = document.createElement('canvas');
       c.width = width;
       c.height = height;
      if (($.browser.msie) && (( parseInt($.browser.version, 10) ) < 9))
             c = window.G_vmlCanvasManager.initElement(c);
             return c;
                                                              }
---------------------------------------------------------------------


and inside the same ConstructCanvas() method there will be snippet.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
if ($.browser.msie) // excanvas hack
        window.G_vmlCanvasManager.init_(document);
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Replace the above  snippet with the following snippet
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
if (($.browser.msie) && (( parseInt($.browser.version, 10) ) < 9))
window.G_vmlCanvasManager.init_(document);
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the above two snippet i have provided, you need to observe only one thing, ie i am checking for the IE browser version.If the browser is 'MicroSoft Internet Explorer' and the browser version is older than 9.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 if (($.browser.msie) && (( parseInt($.browser.version, 10) ) < 9))
---------------------------------------------------------------------

This will fix the issue.


Hope this will help

The server was unable to process the request due to an internal error. For more information about the error, either turn on IncludeExceptionDetailInFaults

Hi Guys,   I came across this issue  today. I was totally blank. Later i started observing the issue and realised that, this issue is caused just because of  mismatch of assembly version or any attribute  in Security token service's web.config file (C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\WebServices\SecurityToken). Actual issue was i upgraded the assembly version and didn't do changes in web.config file of security token service This blog helped me to fix my issue http://underthehood.ironworks.com/2011/05/sharepoint-2010-an-exception-occurred-when-trying-to-issue-security-token-the-server-was-unable-to-p-1.html thanks pradeepa achar

[Solution] :How to not serialize the __type property on JSON object

While working on ajax- webservice , most of the time we prefer return value from web service method should be in JSON format . If we expect a web service method to return the value as JSON object then it will display few information about the source code through the __type property. Also this property is additional load for response. We ideally need to avoid this property Have a look at the below image in which it is returning JSON object which has my custom properties along with __type property. Here i have used burp suite penetration testing tool to test the loophole in our software. Through fiddler i have got the information about request /response  and wanted to hide error message which gets generated from exception. Usually stack trace may allow hackers to  retrieve error message which  contains code related information by using which hacker can easily find the loophole to hack the function.So when  exception arises hacker should not be...
