I’m testing out flot, a pure Javascript plotting library for jQuery. It produces graphical plots of arbitrary datasets on-the-fly client-side. The bit below allows you to input a gas mileage for two cars and the amount of money you would like to save. Then click the “Flot It!” button and the result is a plot of cost per gallon of gas vs miles needed to drive to reach the “Savings Goal”.
Currently, this is compatible with Google Chrome and Internet Explorer. I have had trouble getting it to work in Firefox. I have not tried loading it in Safari yet.
[UPDATE] December 9, 2008
Learned a little more JavaScript but at this point am unable to call the function specifically. I'm not sure Flot is actually designed to be called from form data. I have not found a record of it being used this way yet. If you find one, please forward me a link.
[UPDATE] December 9, 2008
It now works in Google Chrome web browser but not yet in Firefox or Internet Explorer. Working on that now...
[UPDATE] December 9, 2008
Now it works in IE (there turned out to be an IE specific .js library called excanvas that I had to include). Still no luck in FireFox. ><

Is this supposed to calculate a new graph when I put numbers in? I have allowed eukota.com to run scripts, but nothing is happening. Linux Firefox 3.0.4

Nate, Ultimately, yes that is my goal. But as the text reads right now, I’m still learning how to do it. I just need to re-learn a bit of JavaScript for taking inputs from boxes and then learn the function call to re-plot them in the flot window.
