html family tree?

Hi guys,

I was thinking of making a family tree and putting it on the web. I'm sort of wondering how to go about making it, though.

We all know what family tree's look like. The family member names are on bordered boxes, with lines connecting them. That simple.

The boxes are easy: bordered tables or dordered div's. No sweat. What I'm wondering about, though, are the connecting lines. How would I do those? Horizontal lines are no sweat, I can just text out some dashes. ---------

What about vertical lines, though? I'm thinking about using the "pipe" keyboard key "|". That seems like a lot of hassle. Perhaps I could make a thin image (jpeg or gif) that is nothing more than a vertical line.

What do you guys think? Any suggestions on exactly how I should do it?

Chris
