Hi, I too was able to reproduce the problem with the sample above using Windows 8.1 and IE 11 set to IE 8 Document Mode Emulation. This is also causing my chart in my application not to render as well. I need to support IE 8. Here is the console log information:
HTML1300: Navigation occurred. File: editor SCRIPT16389: Unspecified error. File: canvasjs.min.js, Line: 379, Column: 340 SCRIPT5007: Unable to get property ‘appendChild’ of undefined or null reference File: canvasjs.min.js, Line: 65, Column: 38
