Highcharts: initializing StockChart with the new Highchart

Question

I am trying to initialize a HighStock Chart. If I use this method:

var chart = new Highcharts.Chart('StockChart', dataObject);

I get an error that div div was not found. If I use this method:

$('#container').highcharts('StockChart', dataObject);

The chart is canceled as expected. What am I doing wrong in the first method?

If you create the chart as the first method, you need to remove the first parameter "StockChart". Heres the api: Highstock api

So this should be the code:

var chart = new Highcharts.StockChart(dataObject);
