Network graph in javascript, possible with jQuery alone? -


i need implement particular network graph in javascript. i've looked @ infovis toolkit , protovis, i'd have implement custom layout them , lot of custom code. i'm not sure add value. widget needs super efficient go on many highly visited webpages, don't want widget slowing down.

the nodes of graph html-rich. dropdowns, input elements, popups, etc. div's make lot of sense each node. create divs in javascript using ajax read data server. implement layout mechanism in javascript , animate when adding/updating/deleting nodes through jquery.

the thing can think of preventing me using jquery connections between nodes. how draw them? might able use raphael underneath nodes , coordinate between node positions , raphael, after briefly looking @ raphael, looks tricky.

is there simpler way draw connections between nodes? ie support important @ least ie8. preferably lines can curved , patterned (dotted lines, double lines, etc) represent different types of connections.

update: don't mind paying solution, mxgraph suggested. solution far, exists in mind, create transparent png images of various connections. since nodes in situation in of grid, there's maximum number of different connection images (will pretty large though) , since they're transparent, can layered on top of each other. make sense?

this mxgraph designed (i work on product), question whether want open source solution or not. mxgraph can used under free academic license if intended usage.
