I've looked high and low through Snitz for the answer to this but it's either never been explained or i'm looking in the wrong places. Anyway...
I've seen on some forums that the bars which graph the poll results are colour-graded. How would I go about implementing this on my site? Is it something that would appear on all browsers?
Thanks.

it would go where you your image tag is at present, I'm not sure what the original code looked like, so it is a bir difficult to tell you exactly.

Okay, i've found two instances of bar.gif (the original graphic) in the forum code.
In default.asp:
If trim(vAnswers(nCount)) <> "" Then
nThisVal = FormatNumber(vCount(nCount)/nMaxValue * nMaxWidth,0)
Response.Write " <tr>" & vbNewline & _
" <td width=""30%""><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ color=""" & strForumFontColor & """ size=""" & strDefaultFontSize & """>" & vAnswers(nCount) & "</font></td>" & vbNewline & _
" <td nowrap><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ color=""" & strForumFontColor & """ size=""" & strDefaultFontSize & """><img src=""bar.gif"" width=""" & nThisVal & """ height=""10""> (" & vPercent(nCount) & "%)</font></td>" & vbNewline & _
" <td nowrap width=""10%""><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ color=""" & strForumFontColor & """ size=""" & strDefaultFontSize & """>" & vCount(nCount) & " votes</font></td>" & vbNewline & _
" </tr>" & vbNewline
End If
In topic.asp:
If trim(vAnswers(nCount)) <> "" Then
nThisVal = FormatNumber(vCount(nCount)/nMaxValue * nMaxWidth,0)
%>
<tr>
<td width="30%"><font face="<% =strDefaultFontFace %>" color="<% =strForumFontColor %>" size="<% =strDefaultFontSize %>"><%=vAnswers(nCount)%></font></td>
<td nowrap><font face="<% =strDefaultFontFace %>" color="<% =strForumFontColor %>" size="<% =strDefaultFontSize %>"><img src="bar.gif" width="<%=nThisVal%>" height="10"> (<%=vPercent(nCount)%> %)</font></td>
<td nowrap width="10%"><font face="<% =strDefaultFontFace %>" color="<% =strForumFontColor %>" size="<% =strDefaultFontSize %>"><%=vCount(nCount)%> votes</font></td>
</tr>
<%
End If
I can't think of anywhere else the image tag would be present.

Tried that on default.asp and got this error:
Microsoft VBScript compilation error '800a0401'
Expected end of statement
/forum/Default.asp, line 311
" <td nowrap><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ color=""" & strForumFontColor & """ size=""" & strDefaultFontSize & """><SPAN style="layer-background:URL('<%= strImageUrl

in your default.asp code, it is a string so you will need to modify the code I posted by
changing the " to "" , the <%= to " & and the %> to & "

Like this?
<SPAN style=""layer-background:URL('" & strImageUrl & "bar2.gif');background:URL('" & strImageUrl & "bar2.gif');""><img src=""" & strImageUrl & "spacer.gif"" width=""" &nThisVal/1.6& """ height=""10""></SPAN>
Okay, it works in default.asp (the active poll) although for some reason, it looks like the first four results in the active poll have got a white box around them... strange.
It didn't work in topic.asp (example: http://www.bandlink.net/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=7664) there was no graphic at all displayed.

Ack, sorry. Combination of lack of ASP knowledge, a drink, too high a screen rez, tiredness and the late hour caused me misread your instructions.  
Okay, it works all round. Thanks for your help Huw!

it should work in netscape, that is why it has two background styles in the span tag

Well, it's not working for me on Netscape 6.2 for topic.asp or default.asp
There is something strange though. When the page loads, the graphics do appear then disappear again almost instantaneously.

From default.asp:
<td nowrap><font face="arial" color="white" size="2"><span style="layer-background:URL('bar2.gif');background:URL('bar2.gif');"><img src="spacer.gif" width="125" height="10"></span> (44.5%)</font></td>
