Highcharts - issue about full chart width

Deez picture Deez · May 8, 2013 · Viewed 24.8k times · Source

I'm using Highcharts column chart and I want it to be 100% width responsive chart. The container is a simple <div> with no any formatting. When the document loads, the chart is always fixed width 600x400px size. If I resize window or switch to another browser tab, the chart fills the width and becomes responsive full width chart just like I wanted. If I reload page, it's fixed width again. I tried setting width to both container and chart, however, nothing helps. If I move the container div one level above the parent div, It works. How to make the chart become full width on page load also?

Thanks

Chart's width is taken from jQuery.width(container), so if you have chart in some hidden tabs or something similar, width will be undefined. In that case default width and height are set (600x400).
