I'm running the following code. The button basically adds a chart into the html page. The problem I'm facing is: when I click on the button for the second time, the curve of the former chart fades away (though the labels don't), and I want it to stay. I've tried to debug and this happens when I modify the innerHTML property right at the beginning of the buttonClicked javascript function. Can anybody tell me why is this happening?
