Hello. There is an issue that I cannot solve, I've been looking a lot in the internet but found nothing.

I have this JavaScript that is used to do an Ajax request by PHP. When the request is done, it calls a function that uses the Google Visualization API to draw an annotatedtimeline to present the data.

The script works great without AJAX, if I do everything inline it works great, but when I try to do it with AJAX it doesn't work!!!

The error that I get is in the declaration of the "data" DataTable, in the Google Chrome Developer Tools I get a Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'DataTable' of undefined.

When the script gets to the error, everything on the page is cleared, it just shows a blank page.

So I don't know how to make it work.

Please help

Thanks in advance

$(document).ready(function(){               
    // Get TIER1Tickets                 
    $("#divTendency").addClass("loading");

    $.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        url: "getTIER1Tickets.php",
        data: "",
        success: function(html){
            // Succesful, load visualization API and send data      
            google.load('visualization', '1', {'packages': ['annotatedtimeline']}); 
            google.setOnLoadCallback(drawData(html));                                                   
        }
    });     
});


function drawData(response){            
    $("#divTendency").removeClass("loading");

    // Data comes from PHP like: <CSV ticket count for each day>*<CSV dates for ticket counts>*<total number of days counted>
    // So it has to be split first by * then by ,
    var dataArray   = response.split("*");
    var dataTickets = dataArray[0];
    var dataDates   = dataArray[1];
    var dataCount   = dataArray[2];

    // The comma separation now splits the ticket counts and the dates
    var dataTicketArray = dataTickets.split(",");
    var dataDatesArray  = dataDates.split(",");

    // Visualization data                               
    var data = new google.visualization.DataTable();
    data.addColumn('date', 'Date');
    data.addColumn('number', 'Tickets');
    data.addRows(dataCount);                                                    

    var dateSplit = new Array();
    for(var i = 0 ; i < dataCount ; i++){
        // Separating the data because must be entered as "new Date(YYYY,M,D)"
        dateSplit = dataDatesArray[i].split("-");
        data.setValue(i, 0, new Date(dateSplit[2],dateSplit[1],dateSplit[0]));
        data.setValue(i, 1, parseInt(dataTicketArray[i]));
    }               

     var annotatedtimeline = new google.visualization.AnnotatedTimeLine(document.getElementById('divTendency'));
     annotatedtimeline.draw(data, {displayAnnotations: true});                              
}
