I'd been playing with jQuery and building tables from JSON data, and then flot came along right at the same time I was working on a project that required graphing data that was already in tables. I wrote a plugin to help me out that I think other people might find useful:
http://blog.rebeccamurphey.com/2007/12/17/graph-table-data-jquery-flot/ usage: $('#myTable').graphTable({series:'columns'}); It's got a bunch of other properties too -- to choose which part of the table you want to use, where the graph should go, and how to turn the table data into numbers that flot can understand -- but everything except the series property is optional. It'll work with simple tables, but nothing with rowspans or colspans. Interested in anyone's suggestions on how to make it better ...
