Responsive Highcharts not sizing correctly until window resize
I'm using Highcharts within Zurb's Foundation framework for a class project. I have three charts within a section tab. One is within a 12-column div, the other two are on the same row within 6-column divs.
When the page loads, the featured chart does not take up the available width of the 12 columns, and the two smaller charts overflow their 6 columns. However, when the window is resized or I try to investigate using Inspect element, the charts immediately snap into the correct dimensions. This behavior occurs in Chrome, FF, and IE.
I realize I could set a specific width, but I'd really like to take advantage of Foundation and keep them responsive.
I've tweaked the CSS and Highcharts initializations, but I'm stumped. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Can anyone see what I'm missing?
Here's an excerpt from my HTML:
<div class="row">
<div class="twelve columns">
<!--begin tabs below-->
<div class="section-container tabs" data-section="tabs">
<section>
<p class="title" data-section-title><a href="#">Heart Disease</a></p>
<div class="content" data-section-content id="heart">
<div class="row feature-chart">
<div class="large-12 columns">
<div id="heartTimeline-container">
<div id="heartTimeline"></div>
</div>
</div> <!--close 12 columns-->
</div> <!--close row-->
<div class="row small-charts">
<div class="large-6 columns">
<div id="heartDemo"></div>
</div>
<!--close 6-->
<div class="large-6 columns">
<div id="heartStages"></div>
</div>
<!--close 6-->
</div>
<!--end row-->
</div>
</section>
</div>
</div>
<!--end twelve columns-->
Here's the Highcharts js:

Highcharts.setOptions({

I got this from another answer, so give thegreyspot some credit in this question.
solution: call $(window).resize(); after the graph is loaded (or when you fill it with data)
Just use the chart.reflow() function
