[jQuery] Re: Turn HTML tables into graphs using flot
Great work!

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 ...

[jQuery] Re: Vibrator Plugin
Are the demos now supposed (the non-saucy and the saucy one) to finish in the sam place they started? They still don't seem to. Also the saucy one doesn't work on IE6 Windz. The pict appears correctly but only a garbled line is shaking. The original demo works fine. Not sure it's an issue in the plugin or in the spicy sauce. :) Fun apart, I can see its use in a portal environment to attract the user attention to something that changed, in the same line as the Yellow Fade Technique.

Thanks Fred Fred, if the particular element is hidden, it is absolutely positioned while invisible (and the parent element its context), instead of display: none, and the height can then be calculated. Thereafter these styles are resetted. There is one issue: If not the element itself but some parent element is hidden via setting display to none, you won't get the correct height. Its just to expensive to use the above described technique for some parent element. --Klaus
