The PlotKit website says: HTML Canvas: Safari 2+, Opera 9+, Firefox<br>1.5+, IE 6 (in emulated mode)<br><br>Cheers,<br>Tom</blockquote><div><br>Also, regarding image based charting tools. I looked a little deeper and I don't think it would be hard to improve GD::Graph and/or Chart to look nicer. They both have most of the required pieces in place, they just need some TLC on the design side of things.
