Flot + thickbox 3 iframe about flot

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Would you please try debugging it?

Otherwise please provide a test page to allow someone else to try.

I went to that page and it casts an exception: "Invalid dimensions for plot, 
width =
0, height = 0". This means that the placeholder object hasn't got the 
dimensions set
at the time where you try to do the plot.

In your case this is probably because the placeholder is hidden (display:none) 
at the
moment you call $.plot. You need to refactor your code to prevent this. I don't 
know
what thickbox is doing so I can't tell what would work best, but a quick fix 
would
perhaps be to just wait a short moment with setTimer().

In short: this is not a Flot bug as the canvas _must_ have its dimensions set 
before
Flot can do anything.

My apologies for it taking so long. I can recommend using the mailing list in 
the
future - in fact there was a discussion today about the same kind of problem. 
It's
available like a web forum with the Google Groups web interface.

I did a couple of tests, and I'm beginning to think that the problem isn't that 
the
placeholder is hidden at the moment you call $.plot but rather that the DOM 
isn't
ready yet. It's just a theory, but it might be related to the fact that you 
doing the
plot inside an iframe.

Hm, did some more testing. The results seem to contradict what I just said.
