flot

Hi,

I'm using flot library to show plot graph. I need to show the legend in a separate div.

Quoted from flot api.

If you want the legend to appear somewhere else in the DOM, you can specify "container" as a jQuery object/expression to put the legend table into.

So i wrote the legend options as below.

"legend":{"show":true,"container":"jQuery("#placeholder")"}}

Unfortunately it is not showing anything? is this the correct way of writing legend option? One good thing is it not showing default legend. so i guess the problem is with way i wrote the container .

Any thoughts? Thanks
