Hi Florian,
The answers you received from Saad and David refer to setting the
initial view of the timeline. In the event that you were thinking
along slightly different lines (as I was when I wrote this code),
here's how to re-center the timeline to the current date after you've
moved it around a bit:
<A HREF="#" onClick='aDate = new Date(); tl.getBand
(0).setCenterVisibleDate(aDate);'>Center on Today</A>
If you put this link on the page with the timeline, then after a user
has moved through the timeline a few years / decades / millennia,
they can click on the link at any time and have the timeline re-
center on todays date. Using the code Saad gave as a jumping off
point, you could make it so that this link jumped you to any
arbitrary date that is of significance to your timeline.
Like I said, I don't know if this was the direction you were heading,
but I thought I would post it anyhow i case it helps.

Hello,
I was wondering if anybody has found a good way automatically set
the timeline to the current date and time.
Thanks,
