i see this but it looks pretty ugly when you have small boxes. Are there any better treemap generators out there?
A:
I know of two. I have use the UMD before and its the most comprehensive version around. They did after all come up with the concept.
UMD Treemap - i think this is the best out there. Also has an applet demo here.
JTreemap - i've used their KTreemap for eclipse. Its ok, but no where near the one i've listed above.
Both of these are in Java.
EDIT:
Just realized you asked for web-based treemap. Neither of the above are. Prefuse can do treemaps though and thats in flash - there's a demo here.
IBM Many Eyes Project is the best online treemap i've seen.
Actually, this Adobe Flex treemap component looks better than the prefuse demo.
UPDATE
The UMD treemap site is back up and does have an applet demo. I've added a link above.

I think Prefuse might be able to help you. I think the IBM many eyes project used prefuse to do their treemap and thats really great.

Depending on your need, Lab Escape sells a treemap SDK that can be used for web applications. If you are looking for a simple treemap visualization, there are lots of different visualization libraries that can help you, including the Flex, JavaScript and Java libraries mentioned above.
If you are looking to visualize larger volumes (5,000 - 50,000 rows), or are looking for a broader visual analysis tool that includes filtering, data transformations and advanced color schemes, then you should go with a tool like ours or the HiveOnDemand service mentioned above. Many Eyes also has some good features in this regard.
We specialize in treemaps and other types of heat maps for use in integration scenarios, such as ASP.Net, J2EE, PHP or Ruby web applications or Java desktop applications. Though we do also have desktop and web publishing tools to use for heat map reporting using treemaps.

MagnaView has developed a visualization tool based on treemaps. We generalized treemaps to combine the strong points of treemaps with the advantages of standard business graphics like bar charts and pie charts. Treemaps can show overview and detail at the same time. The standard business graphics are well known, which makes them very suitable for presenting to users. Our software consists of a Windows based product that we call MagnaView Designer Pro. This can be used to create projects which can be published on the web using our web component called MagnaView Web Live. For a demo of our web based treemaps click here.

After some research, we came to the conclusion that the TreeMap (http://www.macrofocus.com/public/products/treemap/) product from Macrofocus contains some interesting features (3D treemap, continuous zoom) and scales very well to some large datasets. In addition, the price tag is pretty compelling compared to the competition.

Just not to miss it, there is a nice flash-based animated treemap component from DrasticData. Have a look at: http://www.drasticdata.nl/DDHome.php?m=drastictreemap
