Well, the first problem is finding a charset or something that has a number with a line over it and how you'd create that character in HTML, unless you want to use an image or something. Next, you can treat the result as a string and look at the last X digits. If they are the same, remove them all and substitute with the number and a bar. It just comes down to string manipulation... ---John Holmes...
