ColdFusion chart invalid color name: white

Question

I am getting an invalid color error on a CF page that has cfchart and cfchartseries. I have yet to reproduce this issue, but we get email notification when a user encounters it. I am unable to isolate the issue, so I have to provide the full code block. Any help would be appreciated.

Code:

  <cfchart format="png" chartwidth="270" xaxistitle="Visits last 7 Days" show3d="no" foregroundcolor="##333333" showborder="no" fontbold="yes" tipStyle="none" url="" showLegend="true"> 
        <cfchartseries type="line" query="chartData" itemcolumn="dateRange" valuecolumn="FLASHvisits" datalabelstyle="none" seriesLabel="FloorPlan">
        <cfif chartData.showVTS><cfchartseries type="line" query="chartData" itemcolumn="dateRange" valuecolumn="VTSvisits" seriesColor="blue"  datalabelstyle="none" seriesLabel="IDS"></cfif>
        <cfif chartData.showMobile><cfchartseries type="line" query="chartData" itemcolumn="dateRange" valuecolumn="MOBILEvisits" seriesColor="red"     datalabelstyle="none" seriesLabel="Mobile"></cfif>
    </cfchart>

  <!---
    The line that the stack trace says it's erroring on is:
    <cfif chartData.showMobile><cfchartseries type="line" query="chartData" itemcolumn="dateRange" valuecolumn="MOBILEvisits" seriesColor="red"   datalabelstyle="none" seriesLabel="Mobile"></cfif>
  --->

Stack Trace:

EDIT: I should also mention that we are running CF 9.0.1.274733, JRun4, on top of Windows Server 2008 R2 6.1

Answer 1

Since the error

Invalid color name: white at com.gp......

would indicate a color that isn't referenced in the code you provided, I would guess that the code you provided isn't actually causing the problem. It may be in the query or some code right around the cfchart tag but it doesn't look like the error is in the chart itself
