Ok, that worked, thanks. I think I can see how CanvasJS will work for me, so let’s look at the big picture.
My website is hosted on HostGator. http://www.siftradingsystems.com/
Each system will have multiple charts, either bar or line. Chart data is uploaded to the server automatically. The XML data files look like this:

<chart caption='MyStuff (Updated: Oct 9 06:08 AM)' subcaption='From: Oct, 2017 To: 10/09/19 Net $ by Month - Trend ' xAxisName='Months' yAxisName='Net $' bgColor='9AB5E4' alternateHGridColor='E3EBF5' showValues='0' labelStep='2'>
<set label='0' value='0.00' />
<set label='1' value='2057.50' />
<set label='2' value='1975.00' />
<set label='3' value='12925.00' />
<set label='4' value='16460.00' />
<set label='5' value='18982.50' />
<set label='6' value='28310.00' />
<set label='7' value='32490.00' />
<set label='8' value='31487.50' />
<set label='9' value='39670.00' />
<set label='10' value='42145.00' />
<set label='11' value='43117.50' />
<set label='12' value='36377.50' />
<set label='13' value='45702.50' />
<set label='14' value='46740.00' />
<set label='15' value='57550.00' />
<set label='16' value='60987.50' />
<set label='17' value='69365.00' />
<set label='18' value='70443.61' />
<set label='19' value='68802.71' />
<set label='20' value='69332.83' />
<set label='21' value='74608.13' />
<set label='22' value='79739.90' />
<set label='23' value='76395.16' />
<set label='24' value='77645.90' />
</chart>

When a visitor goes to a system page they can select a chart. When a chart is selected, the page is rendered using PHP.
Here is a sample:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
        <meta name="viewport" id="viewport" content="target-densitydpi=high-dpi,initial-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no" />
        <title>'<?php echo $_GET["sysname"] ?>'</title>
        <link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
        <script type="text/javascript" src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
        <script  type="text/javascript" src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.10.4/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript">

$(function(){
    //option 1
    //insertme('ESCombo7');
    insertme('<?php echo $_GET["sysname"].$_GET["period"]."Trnd" ?>');
});

            function insertme(ref) {
//this can be placed in external js file
                var join = "";
                join += '<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="../FusionCharts/Line.swf" width="500" height="300">';
                join += '<param name="movie" value="../FusionCharts/Line.swf" />';
                join += '<param name="FlashVars" value="&dataURL=clientFTP/' + ref + '.xml&chartWidth=500&chartHeight=300">';
                join += '<param name="quality" value="high" />';
                join += '<embed src="../FusionCharts/Line.swf" flashVars="&dataURL=clientFTP/' + ref + '.xml&chartWidth=500&chartHeight=300" quality="high" width="500" height="300" id="Line" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"  pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />';
                join += '</object>';

                $('#dumphere').append(join);
            }

        </script>
        <style type="text/css">

        </style>
    </head>
    <body class="twoColFixLtHdr">
    
    <div id="container">
    <div id="header" class="fltlft"><img src="images/logo.jpg" alt="SIF Trading Systems Logo" />
    <img src="images/software_box.jpg" alt="Software Box" /> 					    
    </div>
    <br class="clearfloat" /> 
        <div id="dumphere" style="text-align: center">
           <!-- <script> ///option 2 - just remove comment tags
                insertme('ESCombo7');
            </script>-->

	</div>
	<div style="margin-left: 200px"><br>
	<p>This chart is automatically updated directly from a TradeStation chart.</p><!--<p>This chart does not include the current month.</p>-->
	<p style="margin-right: 125px">PAST PERFORMANCE WHETHER REAL OR HYPOTHETICAL IS NO GUARANTEE OF FUTURE RESULTS.</p></div>
	<div id="footer">
	<p><a>.html"><?php echo $_GET["sysname"] ?></a></p>
	</div>
        </div>

    
    </body>
</html>

I would like to keep the same basic structure for my website. I know I will have to modify the XML files for each system.
Do you see any problem doing this?
Can you help me or will I have to hire a developer (or do it myself).
Should I start another thread to ask these questions?

Thanks.
