Are there any good client-side stock charting libraries out there?

I would like to display interactive financial stock charts on a website, something like Google or Yahoo finance. I saw some recommendations on this thread looking for stock charting component but many of the suggestions are commercial, or require silverlight to be installed.

Can anyone recommend any decent Javascript client side libraries to do this? If they're free, even nicer

How about using Google charts itself. See an example or even play around with it.

Though this has one drawback - you cannot use it offline. See FAQ's for detail.

Google's Annotated Time Line probably would meet your needs.

You may want to explore dygraphs as well. It's open source and looks pretty powerful.
