Setting background image for chart is not working

[Prashant]

Hi,

I am trying to set the background image for the chart. I am referring the example http://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/dataviz/bar-charts/column.html 

and added copied the same code into my example, still it is not displaying the .png image as background image. It seems that the chart area is not transparent. I see the background image on chart in demo link above, but not on the chart I created. I am testing it on IE 9.  

I am using the Kendo UI version 2013.3.1316

I am attaching my test application. ( I removed dlls from bin folder and script folder to match .zip size for Upload )

My code is on Index.aspx.

Hi Prashant,

In order to achieve the desired outcome I can suggest setting transparent background to the chartArea: 

$("#chart").kendoChart({
  //....
  chartArea: {
     background: "transparent"
  }
});

It worked!.

Seems chartArea section is missing from the example I referred.  

Thanks Iliana
