Greetings
I am a jquery newbie and trying to fix an issue which uses a version of “turning-series.html” from the official flot examples,
1- I am wondering how can I swith it from display selected to display all from my datasets.
2- How to change my options so when mouse over the point, it displays the value of the Y axis ?

//My data instance:
var datasets = {
        "1st input": {
            label: "1st input",
            data: [
            [1.250208e+12, 1339],   
            [1.2502944e+12, 1316],      
            [1.2503808e+12, 1379],
            [1.2504672e+12, 1223],
             ]
        },
        "2nd input": {
            label: "2nd input",
            data: [
            [1.2503808e+12, 1324],

            ]
        },
    };


//old one, instead of displaying the selected ones from choiceContainer, I want to display all.
    function showWhole() {
        var data = [];
        choiceContainer.find("option:selected").each(function () {
            var key = $(this).attr("name");
            if (key && datasets[key])
                data.push(datasets[key]);
        });

        if (data.length > 0)
            $.plot($("#placeholder"), data, {
                yaxis: {},
                xaxis: { mode: "time",minTickSize: [1, "day"],timeformat: "%d/%m/%y"},"lines": {"show": "true"},"points": {"show": "true"},clickable:true,hoverable: true
            });
    }

    I took the example turning-series.html from FLOT website and made some changes. Copy and paste the following into a new HTML file and run it – works in Firefox, not tested in IE.

    <html>
 <head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
    <title>Flot Examples</title>
    <link href="http://people.iola.dk/olau/flot/examples/layout.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"></link>
    <!--[if IE]><script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="http://people.iola.dk/olau/flot/excanvas.pack.js"></script><![endif]-->
    <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="http://people.iola.dk/olau/flot/jquery.js"></script>
    <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="http://people.iola.dk/olau/flot/jquery.flot.js"></script>
    <style> #tooltip { font-size:8pt; } </style>
 </head>
    <body>

    <div id="placeholder" style="width:600px;height:300px;"></div>
