title: How would I create a web based dynamic mind mapping application in Javascript?
body: <p>I am trying to create a type of mind mapping software that runs on the web, and I am trying to figure out where to start.  I would like this to be able to be used by the most number of people possible.  My web application is currently written using Javascript for the front end and C# for the back-end.  </p>
  
  <p>I was thinking of using Javascript for this.  Unfortunately, the most experience I have with Javascript is with basic DOM manipulating using JQuery and cannot really figure out how I would create mind map bubbles with interactive elements inside of them.  </p>
  
  <p>There are one or two mind mapping jquery plugins I have found but all don't function the way I need to (too much animation, slow, doesn't look easy to add and remove elements easily, doesn't work in IE, etc...) so I am looking at creating my own system but I have no idea how I would even approach this type of thing with JS.  </p>
  
  <p>HTML5 is not an option as it looks to be low availability at this point.</p>
