A comment on jQuery Chart Plugins For Your App.

Flot looks good but I'm concerned about its use of a Canvas emulator in IE (as opposed to writing natively to VML). Such things often don't work well, and we can't afford to have second-class behavior in IE.

Can anyone here speak to whether that is a problem or not?

Alternatively, does anybody have a different favorite charting library they'd care to mention?

I maintain a fork of flot on github. The graphs function correctly in IE (barring some here-and-there bugs which you can report). The only issue is speed (always an issue with IE), and as a result I wouldn't try too much of the interactivity... But on the whole it works great.
