FullCalendar and Flot Resize Conflict - resize

Question

I've successfully integrated both a Flot line graph and an instance of FullCalendar into my site. They are both on separate pages (although the pages are loaded into a div via AJAX).
I've added the Flot Resize plugin and that works perfectly, re-sizing the line graph as expected. However, it seems to cause an error when resizing the calendar.
Even if I load the calendar page first, when I resize the window I get this error in the console (also, the calendar does not resize correctly):
TypeError: 'undefined' is not an object (evaluating 'r.w=o!==c?o:q.width()')
I was struggling to work out where the error was coming from, so I removed the link to the Flot Resize JS and tried again. Of course the line graph does not resize, but when resizing the calendar, it works correctly.
The div containers for the two elements have different names and the resize function is called from within the function to draw the line graph (as required).
I have tried moving the link to the Flot Resize plugin into different places (i.e. above/below the fullCalendar JS, into the template which holds the graph), but all to no avail.
Does anyone have any idea where the conflict might be and how I might solve it??
Thanks very much!
EDIT: It seems that the error is also triggered when loading the line graph (flot) page AFTER the fullcalendar page even without resizing the window.... Now I am very confused!
EDIT 2: The code which draws the line graph. The function is called on pageload and recieves the data from JSON pulled off the server. When the graph is loaded, I still get the error about shutdown() being undefined.
function plotLineGraph(theData){
var myData = theData['data'];
var myEvents = theData['events'];
var myDates = theData['dates'];
var events = new Array();
for (var i=0; i<myEvents.length; i++) {
events.push(
{
min: myEvents[i][0],
max: myEvents[i][1],
eventType: "Calendar Entry",
title: myEvents[i][2],
description: myEvents[i][3]
}
);
}
function showTooltip(x, y, contents) {
$('<div id="tooltip">' + contents + '</div>').css( {
position: 'absolute',
display: 'none',
top: y + 5,
left: x + 5,
border: '1px solid #fdd',
padding: '2px',
'background-color': 'black',
opacity: 0.80
}).appendTo("body").fadeIn(200);
}
var previousPoint = null;
$("#placeholder").bind("plothover", function (event, pos, item) {
$("#x").text(pos.x.toFixed(2));
$("#y").text(pos.y.toFixed(2));
if ($("#enableTooltip:checked").length == 0) {
if (item) {
if (previousPoint != item.dataIndex) {
previousPoint = item.dataIndex;
$("#tooltip").remove();
var x = item.datapoint[0].toFixed(2),
y = item.datapoint[1].toFixed(2);
if(item.series.label != null){
showTooltip(item.pageX, item.pageY,
item.series.label + " of " + y);
}
}
}
else {
$("#tooltip").remove();
previousPoint = null;
}
}
});
var d1 = [
myData[0], myData[1], myData[2], myData[3], myData[4],
myData[5], myData[6], myData[7], myData[8], myData[9],
myData[10], myData[11], myData[12], myData[13], myData[14],
myData[15], myData[16], myData[17], myData[18], myData[19],

var markings = [

{ color: '#B6F2B7', yaxis: { from: 3.5, to: 5 } }

$.plot($("#placeholder"), [
{label: "Average Daily Rating", data: d1, color: "black"}
], {

},
selection: {

},
});
$('#placeholder').resize();
$('#placeholder').shutdown();
}
EDIT 3:
The calendar is called like this:
function showCalendar() {
var date = new Date();
var d = date.getDate();
var m = date.getMonth();
var y = date.getFullYear();
$('#fullcalendar').fullCalendar({
header: {
left: 'prev',
center: 'title',
right: 'next'
},
clickable: true,
firstDay: 1,
eventSources: [
{
url: '/populate-calendar/{{theProductUuid}}/',
color: 'black',
data: {
text: 'text'
}
}
],
eventClick: function(calEvent, jsEvent, view) {
var startDate = $.fullCalendar.formatDate(calEvent.start, 'yyyy-MM-dd');
var endDate = $.fullCalendar.formatDate(calEvent.end, 'yyyy-MM-dd');
var eventId = calEvent.uuid;
$('#modal-event-title').text(calEvent.title);
$('#edit-event-name').val(calEvent.title);
$('#edit-start-date').val(startDate);
$('#edit-end-date').val(endDate);
$('#edit-event-text').val(calEvent.text);
$('#edit-event-btn').attr('data-uuid', eventId);
$('#modal-edit-event').on('click', '#delete-btn', function(){
deleteCalendarEvent(eventId);
});
$('#modal-edit-event').modal();
},
});
}
The AJAX to load the page containing the flot chart:
function loadDetailedReports(uuid){
$('#product-content').fadeOut('slow', function(){
$('#product-content').empty();
$('#whole-product-sub-nav .active').removeClass('active');
$('#detailed-reports-content').load('/detailed-reports/' + uuid + '/', function(){
$('#detailed-reports-btn').addClass('active');
$('#detailed-reports-content').fadeIn('slow', function(){
if (authorized){
setLocationHash('loadDetailedReports&' + uuid);
getChartData(uuid);
} else {
setLocationHash('');
}
});
});
});
}
And the AJAX to load the page containing the calendar:
function loadCalendar(uuid){
$('#detailed-reports-content').empty().hide();
$('#product-content').fadeOut('slow', function(){
$('#whole-product-sub-nav .active').removeClass('active');
$('#product-content').load('/calendar/' + uuid + '/', function(){
$('#calendar-btn').addClass('active');
$('#product-content').fadeIn('slow', function(){
if (authorized){
setLocationHash('loadCalendar&' + uuid);
} else {
setLocationHash('');
}
showCalendar();
});
});
});
}
The calls to .resize and .shutdown are there because I was under the impression that they are necessary to achieve the resizing function and in response to your earlier comment regarding shutdown...... They're quite possibly n00b errors........?!?!

Answer 1

It looks like this is triggering on line 198 of jquery-resize:
data.w = w !== undefined ? w : elem.width();
This sounds like a race-condition stemming from the way you load different content into the same div. Flot binds the resize event to the chart div, and only un-binds it if the plot is destroyed cleanly.
EDIT: Looking at your code, my first suggestion would be to get rid of the resize and shutdown calls at the end of plotLineGraph. The resize plugin doesn't require any setup; it hooks into Flot to attach automatically to any new plot. So your call to resize is actually to jQuery's resize event trigger, which may be what's causing the error.
EDIT #2: I'm still not clear on your structure, but to generalize: anywhere that you might be getting rid of #placeholder (via emptying its parent or anything like that) you should first call shutdown on the plot object. If you aren't keeping a reference to it, you can do it like this: $("#placeholder").data("plot").shutdown(); but then have to account for the fact that it's undefined prior to the creation of your first plot.
If that still doesn't work, I'd need to see a live (simplified) example to make any further suggestions.
