jQuery Charts & Graphs with Multiple Axes

Multiple Axis makes it easier to compare multiple series with different scale and is supported in all the graphs with axis. Given example shows Spline Chart which uses multiple Y-axis to represent different ranges. It also includes source code that you can edit in-browser or save to run locally.
