I worked on making my bubble chart into something that could be used more generically. I implemented a new feature: user-defined color ranges. Now bubbles can be any color the user will create an image for, rather than only red or green as before. I need to talk to Nate about what the final version should look like. For example, should I translate it into Perl? Should I try to publish it as a library or module somewhere? I've never done that.

The final Firefox version is done [edit: Link updated]. I went to check it in Internet Explorer, and it doesn't look the same. It's still readable, but it's not as neat - for example, the tick marks don't touch the axis. The odd thing is that if you zoom in and then back out (hold down Ctrl and use your scroll wheel), it fixes itself. And then in Opera, something is wrong with the image heights, so the bubbles all look really squished. Maybe they think their height is a percentage of some other element's height rather than the table cell height.

Notes to self for tomorrow: 

• Tomorrow's task is to get this page looking good in those other two browsers.
• Scratchpad is called jul19, and it's just the ending portion.
