My code is nea

Answer 1

From http://www.jqplot.com/tests/date-axes.php

Note, although jqPlot will parse most any human readable date, it is safest to use javascript time stamps when possible. Also, it is best to specify a date and time and not just a date alone. This is due to inconsistent browser handling of local time vs. UTC with bare dates.

And example data from site:

var line1=[['2008-09-30 4:00PM',4], ['2008-10-30 4:00PM',6.5], ['2008-11-30 4:00PM',5.7], ['2008-12-30 4:00PM',9], ['2009-01-30 4:00PM',8.2]];

So you need array filled with 2 element arrays. First string with date (use timestamp if can) and X value. I've tried to find input format for datetime parsing or something like that but with no result.

You generated

{"2011-04-25 14:46:40":2,"2011-04-26 14:46:40":3,"2011-04-27 14:46:40":5}

which is object with 3 fields. First field name is "2011-04-25 14:46:40" and it's value set to 2. You need to generate array like this:

[["2011-04-25 14:46:40", 0],["2011-04-26 14:46:40", 3],["2011-04-27 14:46:40", 0]]

JSFiddle with your data seems to work - so don't need timestamps ;) http://jsfiddle.net/zpygcvps/1/
