Has anyone got an example of using an external JS library that they would be willing to share to help me understand how it's done, please? The simpler the better.

I've read this : http://www.elevatesoft.com/manual?action=viewtopic&id=ewb2&topic=External_Interfaces
and the links it refers to, but I'm struggling to "get it". Are there any more must read links?

The ultimate point of it is to try and add some charting library to my app. Understanding how to add external libraries would go some way to helping me choose which one to use.

Ok, I am sort of getting it now. I can call my own simple external JS function library.

I'll experiment some more.

(But would still love to see real world examples if anyone doesn't mind sharing - especially if they're of charting libraries Smile

Check out the WebDOM unit in EWB, especially the Google* classes.  You can see how they implement the Google Maps API:

If you have a specific JS library in mention, just post the JS code interface that needs ported to EWB (and that you need help with, I can't do the whole library here Smile), and I'll tell you how to do it.

Thanks, Tim.
Now I'm sort of getting to grips with it, I'll have a stab myself and post here if I get into trouble,

Cheers.
