How to consume an HTML Table using JQPlot?
Question
I've been asked to evaluate JQPlot for possible integration with TrueFX such that a chart is created using JQPlot using the HTTP response provided for a given currency pair from TrueFX. We are able to obtain HTML and CSV responses from TrueFX.
Question: Has anyone setup JQPlot to use a CSV or HTML table as it's input? Is there an alternative JQuery charting plugin that will better address our needs?
Thanks much for your advice!
Solution
From what I understand jQuery Visualize is designed for consuming HTML tables to make charts.

OTHER TIPS
Yes. My Tablechart jQuery plugin consumes HTML tables and feeds them to jqPlot. It uses the table structure to construct series data and supports multiple column tables and multiple tables within the selector passed in.
I originally developed it for a project at Fermilab, but it seems to now mostly be used at newspapers. I most recently used it in a story about crime trends on Chicago public transit.
