I've used the charting components before and found the creator, Robert Edgar, to be very helpful. Make sure you take a close look at a lot of the examples as a vast majority of what I needed was found dispersed between most of them. Cheers, !k -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Is the problem that you can't run Javascript at all, or that you need to put the embed code in html instead of javascript? You could use this patent fix: http://www.unfocus.com/projects/patentmagic/ It still relies on scripting being enabled (so you'd still have this problem for anyone that
