Right this was a feature request not a criticism. I was taking about the popup graphs I should have made it clearer.
If I realised people would start getting aggressive and defensive I wouldn't have bothered.
If you want pop up graphs then you need php then you need jpgraph or you need jpgraph and PHP whichever way you want to look at it.
There is an issue with one of the standard web pages but I worked around it to get it display across a series of devices. I noticed the issue on other of web sites also have the same issue so it's an issue with the template. I don't know about the others as I haven't needed to look so far.

Yep I got that, so I explained the reason that this is more difficult these days is because the client is expected to render the data into graphs rather than having them created server side.

I don't think anybody really did that. It has been an interesting debate - it's certainly got me thinking about a practical way to do it.

I would argue that it can all be done in HTML and JavaScript.

Can you tell us what the issue is, please? Perhaps it can be fixed.
