Do you have an example page to speed up reproducing the problem?

I haven't been able to reproduce this so I'm going to close the bug. If you can
provide an example page that shows the problem, please reopen.

I do get the same symptom, but I think the problem is the legend. I've been fighting
with it for a few hours now! I'm specifying a container in the options and sending
that in a json string to flot. The error is
Error: options.legend.container.html is not a function
Source File: ....scripts/jquery.flot.js Line: 1505

I tried to make sure that the object is actually there in DOM and it is there, but
setting its html fails in jquery. Any idea why? I'm accssing the object via its id.
example of json options:

"options":{"grid":{"autoHighlight":true,"hoverable":true,"backgroundColor":"#fafafa"},"legend":{"container":"$("#153079005_389397849_legend")"},"xaxis":{"ticks":0},"bars":{"fill":0.7}}}

It looks to me like you're passing in a string as container, a string containing a
Javascript expression, but nevertheless just a string. You need to evaluate the
expression inside the string somehow, Flot won't work with a string, it needs the
jQuery object.

If you send over the id of the container, you could find the element before passing
it to Flot, something like

options.legend.container = $("#" + theContainerId);
$.plot($("#placeholder"), data, options);

Actually, it could make sense to extend Flot to support passing in a jQuery query
string, so you could specify "#myid" instead of $("#myid"). A patch is welcome. :)
