pChart is nice, small and easy to implement. Width jQuery (there's
somewhere a plugin called imagemap) you're able to have a quick
functional solution which is fully crossbrowser compatible. The imagemap
plugin from jquery is only required to get the same functionality as
OFC, but with javascript, on the fly without needed plugins. on pChart
there must be (if I remember right) an example to generate charts,
display theme and animate it with tooltips like OFC.
