    I'm still using CF9. I had problems with those UI tags when upgrading from CF8 to CF9.

    To use FusionCharts, you need to pass XML. It's pretty easy. See CF sample application on http://www.fusioncharts.com/download/sample-applications/

    If I were you, I would avoid using any ColdFusion UI related tags, such as cfchart, cfwindow, cfdiv, etc. Those tags would cause problems in the future when you upgrade CF. I would highly recommend to use a third-party library such as jQuery UI.

    For your particular problem, I would use http://www.fusioncharts.com/

    Thanks for you reply. We are using CF 10. We are not too worried about upgrading. We only use the cfchart tag. I wonder is a fix for the tooltip issue exist other than buying a 3rd party product.

    Do you know if fusionCharts are difficult to use with Coldfusion?
