What would be the best method to create a graph on a web page?

Answer 1

My first thought was "JS and canvas", but you could also create one with JS and svg...

As you see, the match is between svg and canvas; and honestly, I don't think there's one better than the other: it really depends of your use case.

* svg handle vector graphics, while canvas handle bitmaps.

* js cannot be avoided if you want create the graph dynamically on user (client) side. Else, you could use images, even as vectors (svg is also a standalone file format), pre-computed or dynamically created from server side.
