I'm making a gantt project management system, and I'm trying to connect the DOM elements of a UI together, like in this jsPlumb demo:

However, I don't like jsPlumb much. I searched for alternatives, but couldn't find any.

Are there any jsPlumb alternatives that you suggest?

    What exactly do you want to do? – Pekka Nov 22 '11 at 21:24
  • @Pekka - The intention is to connect elements together, like [this](http://jsplumb.org/jquery/demo.html). – Steve Adams Nov 22 '11 at 21:26

    @Steve thanks! That looks pretty cool. Needim - you need to add a *lot* more detail to your question. What is your exact requirement? Why didn't you need jsplumb much? Otherwise, this is impossible to answer and very likely to get closed. – Pekka Nov 22 '11 at 21:27
  • How about [Yahoo Pipes](http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/)? – Micah Nov 22 '11 at 22:15

    I'm making a gantt project management system. In gantt view i connected milestones with jsplumb like this [link](http://timios.net/Gantt/images/Gantt.png) (blue arrows). But gantt has a lot of milestones and relations. When i scroll the page jsplumb connections are not moving. After scroll event finished jsplumb redraw the connections. This is not good for me. – needim Nov 22 '11 at 22:18

jsPlumb doesn't have a Gantt chart connector out of the box, but someone wrote one a year or two ago:

http://help-me-hackers.com/tasks/107

enter image description here

which, when i saw it, i thought was pretty cool. I don't know a great deal about it, since it's all in Japanese, but the idea of polishing those connectors up and then adding them to jsPlumb for everyone to use is quite appealing.

i think perhaps the code is in this github project:

https://github.com/komagata/jquery.ganttView

..but be aware if you do try to integrate them, the code has moved on a little since they were written so you might have a little bit of work to do up front. I'd be happy to help you if you want to pursue this.

Not sure if this is any easier than jsPlumb , which btw is awesome.

This framework is like the yahoo pipes visual UI editor, http://neyric.github.com/wireit/index.html and this http://neyric.github.com/webhookit/docs/index.html
