><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
and to play devil's advocate, i can think of a few advantages to doing it
server-side:
weight
yeah, i think an image would weigh less than
all the html and little images necessary to
produce the same thing)
portability
no chance of not selecting the entire html graph
to paste into something like word. less chance
of people messing with the numbers once it's been
pulled into an authoring medium.
quality
as in consistency across all devices with
graphical display capabilities)
just my 2¢,
.jeff
