The reason this would happen is that you have a fatal error somewhere inside
your createCharts() function. When this error occurs, it stops all
JavaScript execution for the current event.
Do you have any debugging tools such as Firebug? If not, install Firebug and
try again. Open the Firebug panel and make sure it's enabled for your site,
then reload the page and do whatever you need to do to trigger the error.
It's very likely that Firebug will give you an error message showing exactly
what the problem is.
If the problem isn't clear from that message (or if you don't get one), try
sprinkling the code inside createCharts() with console.log() calls:
function createCharts() {
console.log(1);
// some of your code here
console.log(2);
// some more of your code here
console.log(3);
// and some more of your code here
console.log(4);
}
By watching the Firebug console, you will then be able to see which of your
console.log() calls were actually executed.
