I like Raphael’s charts: http://raphaeljs.com/
JS Charts isn’t too bad either: http://www.jscharts.com/

I should really try out some of these other ones suggested. I’m still using PlotKit (http://www.liquidx.net/plotkit/) on my website.

These are really nice charts. I normally use the .Net Chart Control but these pure js charts look amazing. Much nicer than .net rendering an image for a chart ;)

Highcharts supports IE. Protovis currently does not support IE.

$360 isn’t an unlimited site license, it allows you to deploy it on your own sites. You need to contact them for the site license, which means it’s probably in the same ballpark as Fusion Charts.

I really like these charts, and $360 versus $499 is undercutting Fusion Charts (for the unlimited site development license). Ajazianreader is right that $80 for a single site license is higher than Fusion’s $69, but from what I see with these charts I’d gladly pay the extra amount.

To add to my last comment in case the creators behind Highcharts are watching: If you undercut Fusion Charts, who really are the standard right now, by a significant amount you’ll have more customers than you know what to do with.

Can you use these charts as sparklines?
I don’t see any sparkline demos.

Works really well, I’m amazed at how non-resource intensive it is.

Too bad their commercial pricing prices are so uncompetitive, but it looks like it’ll be great for some projects.
