Question

I need a very simple, straightforward CSS/HTML flowchart in the format below:

Node1
  |
Node2
  |
Node3
  |
Node4
  |
Node5
  |
Node6

I know next to nothing about CSS but attempted to modify the one detailed in the link below. The Problem was I only want a linear, vertical chart and it ended up all over the place!

<div id="container">

<div id="no1"><a href="#">Production Director</a></div>
<div id="line1"></div>
<div id="no1"><a href="#">Production Director</a></div>
<div id="line1"></div>
<div id="no1"><a href="#">Production Director</a></div>
<div id="line1"></div>
<div id="no1"><a href="#">Production Director</a></div>

</div>
