Depending upon how fancy the graphics need to be, you may be able to do what you want in JavaScript without any plugins at all.
I did look at this, but I need the ability to parse .csv files from within Javascript and I haven't seen any examples of how to do this. (It may be trivial, of-course; parsing the data ought to be OK but I don't know how to open a URL and pull data from it line-by-line in order to parse it. Is this easier than I think?)
I've done something similar to display the results of a manufacturing simulation. The simulation generates a data fileformatted as a JavaScript object (Google for "JSON" for more info). The web page pulls in the data and a script displays dynamic bar graphs. I've tested this OK in Firefox (Windows and Linux), Mozilla and IE6.
It might work. Bar graphs aren't an obvious choice for the application but I may be able to find a compromise. In any case graphical representation is not a priority yet - a "pretty" HTML report would be fine right now.
