live graphing

[stephen j ryan]

Is there a graph app that allows end users to interact with data live in web that the capesoft team or other users recommend.

I want to allow users to graph and regraph data live

im not referring to a clarion graphing option but a Jquery type graph solution that takes XML data and lets the user regraph data live

many thanks
steve

i have downloaded Highstocks JS library. I know nothing about javascript other then the scary articles on its dangerous no strong typing. trouble for bunnies like me. So i may need some help incorporating this Library in to nettalk, will happily share any classes i write to support this class library once i understand how to put a JS object into a page.

I'm not sure if there's a question in there - but good luck. It's not so hard to implement, but yes, it can take a bit of JavaScript knowledge to do it right.

Actually I find JavaScript a very good language to work with, and the weak typing is very familiar to Clarion developers, so no great problems there at all.

I went to a jQuery training course in Boston some years ago and it was interesting to see how much people struggled with the concept of "compare a long to a string" - and concepts of a string being "true" or "false" and so on. Stuff we take for granted and use every day. So I think a lot of the scare stories you mention are by people unfamiliar with the concept.
