Type cast lawyer ?

I kind of enjoyed it back in the day .. Just me and PERL on my EditPlus app and HTML/JavaScript. Life was simple !

If I'm understanding you correctly, you could simply use an XmlHttpRequest to AJAX-load the generated page, then pluck out the chart using jQuery or something similar to stick it in your page. Just a suggestion - I may be missing your problem entirely. EDIT: Read over your question a few more times, realized I missed the point. If these are really separate pages, then the only way to communicate between them without a refresh would be for the "show more info" page to use continual AJAX checks to a third file (on the server) that would be written to by the chart click (again, using AJAX) to notify the other page of the click. It's probably easier to bite the bullet and go with a refresh and regeneration of the info page on a chart click. Is that not an option? Sorry for my first response, it was very stupid.

Thank you :) Regards. -------- M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpfull answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Good job

Javascript was never intended for what it is now used for in the web. First of all it does not play well with HTML/XML. The "<" and ">" should not have been used in the language syntax. Could have used soemthing like PowerScripts ".lt" and ".gt". Anything in the syntax that was not be incompatible with XML. Second it is C-like but not. It should be much closer to C if it is going to be C like, and being C like would have made it easier for all the Java and C# (and C++) programmers out there. It does provide a lot of power, which is good, but any programming language could have once it had been limited to what made sense.

And "learn" means that you can maintain existing apps, write a shopping cart application from scratch or just write some simple code? Perl is significantly different than java. If you have significant experience in java with regexes then that would help in perl since you wouldn't need to relearn all of the rules there. However there is still semantics and libraries that one must learn.
