I've done this.  It was a bear.  Horizontal bar charts. They scale
nicely when you change font size with ctrl-+. All css.

Tougher to copy and paste, by way easier to read like this.

<div class="split">                                 # .split {width:
48em;}                     # set the total width
  <div class="left">400nm</div>              # .left {float: left;
text-align: left;}      # left align stuff
  <div class="right">1400nm</div>          # .right {float: right;
text-align: right;} # right align stuff
  <div class="spacer">log scale</div>      # .spacer {text-align:
center;}            # and center the rest.
</div>

Example:
See the header on the coatings chart with left, center and right
justified headings.

This is from a css reference called the seven-ten split, based on the
bowling term.
