To resize Flotcharts in Webflow using custom code and the jQuery.flot.resize.js plugin, follow these steps:

  1. Insert the necessary HTML markup: Start by adding an HTML embed component to your page where you want the Flotchart to be displayed. Within the embed component, create a container element like a <div> with a unique ID that will hold the chart.

  2. Install the jQuery.flot.resize.js plugin: Download the jQuery.flot.resize.js plugin from the Flotcharts website or use a CDN link. Include the plugin in your project by linking to it in the <head> section of your Webflow project. For example, you can add the following line of code within a <script> tag:

<script src="path/to/jquery.flot.resize.js"></script>
  1. Write the custom code to resize the Flotchart: In the page settings of your Webflow project, add a custom code section if you haven't already. Within the custom code section, write JavaScript code that targets the Flotchart container element and resizes it dynamically. Here's an example:
$(window).resize(function () {  var container = $('#flotchart-container');  var chart = container.data('chart');  if (chart) {    chart.resize();    chart.setupGrid();    chart.draw();  }});

In the above code, replace #flotchart-container with the ID of your specific Flotchart container element.

  1. Initialize the Flotchart: Once you have written the custom code, you need to initialize the Flotchart within the Webflow Designer or using JavaScript. The chart initialization code will depend on the specific type of Flotchart you are using. Consult the Flotcharts documentation for the correct initialization code for your chart type.

  2. Publish your Webflow site: After completing the above steps, publish your Webflow site for the changes to take effect.

By following these steps, you will be able to resize Flotcharts in Webflow using custom code and the jQuery.flot.resize.js plugin.
