I built a multi series Highcharts https://www.highcharts.com/ line chart with irregular time data. It's almost there, but I'm doing something wrong with the data and/or data formatting. Anyone have a hint or two to throw my way?
The date from the database was converted from '02/03/2009' to javascript time in php using
$date = strtotime($data['As of Date'])*1000;
The other value is a dollar amount.
I haven't yet added the filtered data for 3MO, 6MO, 1YR, 5YR, 10YR
Here is the jsfiddle https://jsfiddle.net/madmichael/th41g4yt/

I intend to have a button on my web page so that upon clicking a button, a point will be added to a chart without redrawing the whole chart (the chart is a modified version of this http://www.highcharts.com/demo/dynamic-update). However, my current code is not working.
Here is the code in concern: http://jsfiddle.net/wtvaz9gc/7/
var series;
$(function drawCharts(numberOfPoint) {
// if(typeof chartData == undefined){
// chartData = $(dataStore.getXml());
// }
$("#b").click(function(){
series.addPoint([3,3]);
})
$(document).ready(function () {
Highcharts.setOptions({
global: {
useUTC: false
}
});
$('#container').highcharts({
chart: {
type: 'line',
animation: Highcharts.svg, // don't animate in old IE
marginRight: 10,
events: {
load: function () {
series = this.series[0];
// window.myGlobal1 = this.series[0].data[this.series[0].data.length - 1].y;
// console.log(window.myGlobal1 + " " + this.series[0].data[this.series[0].data.length - 1].y);

When I tries to run it in chrome, I got the following error report:
highcharts.js:Uncaught TypeError: i.splice is not a function
addPoint # highcharts.js:...
How should I use the function "addPoint" in this case?
Or should I use other method to achieve the purpose?
There is something wrong with the function generating your initial data, but addPoint is working fine:
var series;
$(function drawCharts(numberOfPoint) {
// if(typeof chartData == undefined){
// chartData = $(dataStore.getXml());
// }
$("#b").click(function(){
series.addPoint([10,10]);
})
$(document).ready(function () {

I am not sure what you are trying to do in your series.data function but removing all that code and defining your chart in your click event so it knows what series is does add the point [3,3].
Series declaration now:
series: [{
name: 'Random data',
data: []
}]
And the click function (no moved after the chart code):
$("#b").click(function() {
var chart = $('#container').highcharts();
chart.series[0].addPoint([3, 3]);
})
