Hi Varun,

Sorry for the delayed reply i didn't get any notification on your comment.

The return function assigns value to the CSS class property dynamically.

It's like instead of giving a class name to the property, we can use this method to assign different classes in our css file based on our requirement. Like yours to change color at run time.

As in my scripting, based on month selected the css class will be assigned the chart. Here the return function sends string(class name) as value of the CSS class name property.

Let me know if more clarification needed.

Thanks,
