Problem Description:

CFCharts hits an OutOfMemoryError if the seriesLabel on a cfchartseries contains a dollar sign and is referenced by the onclick handler.

Steps to Reproduce:

See attached files.  myFile1.cfm is a working page, containing a single cfchart.  myFile2.cfm is a page that errors due to the issue mentioned above.

We can use a standard diff tool to observe that the only difference between myFile1.cfm and myFile2.cfm is that myFile2.cfm contains dollar signs in the seriesLabels.

Actual Result:

An error, as follows:
    java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
        at java.util.Arrays.copyOf(Unknown Source)
        at java.lang.AbstractStringBuilder.expandCapacity(Unknown Source)
        at java.lang.AbstractStringBuilder.ensureCapacityInternal(Unknown Source)
        at java.lang.AbstractStringBuilder.ensureCapacity(Unknown Source)
        at java.lang.StringBuilder.ensureCapacity(Unknown Source)
        at org.mozilla.javascript.regexp.RegExpImpl.replace_glob(RegExpImpl.java:371)
        at org.mozilla.javascript.regexp.RegExpImpl.matchOrReplace(RegExpImpl.java:181)
        at org.mozilla.javascript.regexp.RegExpImpl.action(RegExpImpl.java:101)
        ... (stack trace continues)

Expected Result:

No errors; the chart should render (as in myFile1.cfm).

Any Workarounds:

You can remove the dollar signs from the seriesLabels, but then your seriesLabels won't have dollar signs.

We frequently allow users to label chart series with names like "Sales $ Weekly" - if we programmatically eliminate "$" (which we must do now as a workaround!) it's likely that many of their names just won't make sense.
