Guess I should have refreshed before replying....

borisz, thanks, see the reply above.
Taulmarill and g0n, interesting. I hadn't thought of that. That is really a unique way of acheiving the goal. I'll have to look deaper into this. The effective way to make it work even better (for me atleast) would be to generate based on the average hits before actually making the table and cells, to ensure that the actual display stays on the page, and in the desired display area.

I tried your 2nd script, g0n, the results are very interesting, it does cause allot of generation though. In the test case I ran, the file had this:
Highest: 42
Lowest: 1
Total counted: 31

The result ended up being rather large, and took several seconds to generate. But in the end, does offer a way to generate something that represents a bar chart.

I have to play around with the html/css methods and see what I come up with. Thanks allot for the ideas!
