Free JS chart generator

JS chart generator? Nice idea, but too much of a client-side overhead. Why not generate the chart on the server-side and send to the client in a useful image or something? There are many server-side charting libraries available for pretty much all platforms...

Again, nice idea though.

Depends on the client, I suppose. I would find this handy in a corporate environment, where bandwidth and speed is not an issue, and the charts are generated constantly. All that would be needed is an AJAX call returning a small JSON package, which would update the chart. No images, no heavy server-side processing. That (for me) is where it's at.

In corporate environments it could work, yes... As a live dashboard type of thing. 'scuse the negativity on my part for today. Just having a reeeeeeeeally bad Monday which serves as introduction to a terrible week ahead.
