I'm a big fan of charts, and I'm glad to see someone made a good non-flash interactive chart solution.


2 years ago I built chartwidget . http://demo.chartidget.com

I haven't quite kept up with javascript charting recently. I was aiming to build a google finance/yahoo finance competitor. The thing that always surprised me about google finance/yahoo finance charts was that they didn't take advantage of data already in the browser. When their flash charts would try to plot a moving average, they would make another request back to the server for more data, Why? The browser already has enough data to derive the moving average.


I think you meant: http://demo.chartwidget.com/


thanks, I'm a dummy


I used jQplot on a whim project a while ago and greatly enjoyed using it as well.


There are tons of good non flash ones. Someone mentioned Protovis, which is neat, but last I check it wasn't supported in IE. There is also Flot (jquery) and Flotr (prototype), and a handful of others.

I use a modified version of Flotr, and it works great.


Look at protovis also.
