Flot won't Plot

I'm playing around with FLOT with Ruby and I'm having a hard time passing the code to javascript; I know my javascript isn't reading the data correctly from Ruby. I need some syntax help.

Ruby Code:

o={}; o= {'label' => "A", 'data' => @example.collect{|x| [Time.utc(x.date).to_i, x.num]}} render :text => o.to_json

I have successfully rendered the output as such:

{"label":"A","data":[[1281225600,1.31],[1281225600,1.31],[1281225600,1.25]]}

The HTML outputs this data only.

My javascript is as follows:

var obj = jQuery.parseJSON(text);     var options = {     lines: { show: true },     points: { show: true },     xaxis: { mode: "time", timeformat: "%m/%d/%y", minTickSize: [1, "day"]}};

       var data = obj;       $.plot(placeholder,[data],options); }

I think the jQuery.parseJSON(text); isn't working. Any suggestions will be helpful.

Ok I got it....

Ruby code:

    @o={};     @o= {'label' => "A", 'data' => @example.collect{|x| [Time.utc(x.date).to_i, x.num]}}

Java code:

$(function () {

var obj = <%= @o.to_json %>; var options = {    lines: { show: true },    points: { show: true },    xaxis: { mode: "time", timeformat: "%m/%d/%y", minTickSize: [1, "day"]} };

var data = obj; $.plot(placeholder,[data],options); });
