I'm incompetent as a programmer and know little about making web pages, but this idea seems an absurdly easy way to get some personalized waterblock graphs.

My cobbled together proof of concept: Here. It doesn't work on Mozilla , but it shows the possibilities.

You're right, it doesnt work on firefox

Looks good on IE though, that would be a nifty idea!

Make it work on firefox and I'll do it

[Groth]

Updated, should work on Firefox/Moz. Still needs some prettying up -- a color/symbol key, explanatory text, and what?

I deserve some ice-cream.

Ok looks like I can probabably make that go with viewing source. I'll get right on that

[Groth]

I made a couple more small changes, dynamically generating some bits. Now the newest block will appear at the top of the list, and BLOCK_TOTAL is the only thing that need be changed to add a new block to the list (assuming the graph and key exist).

I'm uncertain of the usefulness/necessity of the MAX_GRAPHED thing. :shrug: You gonna clean up the text, or have some suggestions on how I should?

[pHaestus]

I don't really see that the max_graphed script is necessary. If someone wants to add a ton of wbs to the same graph then it's their party as far as Im concerned.

[Groth]

Altered a bit.
