How to Create a Chart with HTML/CSS/ASP/AJAX Part 1(JavaScript timer and AJAX call)

Recently I worked with a client who had purchased software for creating real-time graphs and charts. They had the software provider build them several charts that displayed the real-time data and they needed some thresholds on the data. The software only provided thresholding on their 3d objects, but not on the 2d. After using the reports for about 3 weeks, they decided that the 3d objects were not working for them. This is when they called me and after looking at the software we decided to completely replace it and provide a custom solution using the real-time data engine, HTML, CSS, ASP, and AJAX. Below is what we came up with, but you could make it look better by creating some image files to build the bars rather than just changing the background color.
