The problem with these type of org charts is that when a level has many members it becomes very large for the screen. We had precisely that problem where our support department has about 200 people and you end up scrolling right.
The solution, for us, was to use theActiveX Tree Control which installs with IE. We used a two frame page. The left column contains the tree, the right the employee info. That way you can see all the direct reports. We also added a search box to search the tree and open the correct leaf and hightlight the match. It's all database driven using recursion to populate the tree.
