I just created a user macro as listed below. It produces a rendering error but I cannot see what to do about it. Adding the code using the html-macro it works perfectly fine. Thanks for help, BKS

It's probably the $.ajax({. I've had issues with the velocity engine mistaking the $ as a velocity variable. Try this instead.

## @param AxisHorTitle:title=Titel der horizontalen Achse|type=string|required=true|desc=Setze die Beschriftung für die horizontale Achse


#set( $d = '$' )
 
<div id="chart_@paramChartID">
</div>
....
....
${d}.ajax({...

or you can just use jQuery instead of $

[Davin Studer]

Yup. That'll work too.

Thx, that was pretty obvious. ;) I just replaced the $ with 'jQuery' and now everything works fine! :)

Do you get any errors in the console when it tries to run on a page? 

Also, have you tried just removing pieces of the code until it works to try and pin point where it is failing?
