Does anyone know of a way to create a line graph using html or javascript?

I need to create a line graph with html or jave script without paying a company $99 for their javascript it (e.g. swiftchart). The graph needs to handle multiple trends in the same graph... meaning that I would like to see 3 or more lines going accross in one graph.

Any Help?

Depending on how L33t you are, you might like to know of the "data:" URI scheme.

Timeplot is impressive and similar in features to swiftchart.

Response by poster: I forget to mention, It needs to work in iexplorer, so that rules out Timeplot. But thanks anyway. Can PlotKit give line without shading the area underneath?

Best answer: I've used WebFX Chart for simple line graphs.

You can check out the javascript embedded in this page (self link) for a simple usage example.

Chart draws to a Canvas tag and uses ExplorerCavanas for IE compatibility.
