David,
Excellent! Thanks very much. It works well. I had spent some time
looking at modifying *sources.js* and *timeline-view.js* but your solution
saves me a ton of time.

Hi Andy,
I've just committed a fix that will let you specify any arbitrary
expression for retrieving event labels. You need to link against the
development version of the API:
<script
src="
http://simile.mit.edu/repository/exhibit/trunk/src/webapp/api/exhibit-api.js
"
type="text/javascript"></script>
And then in your timeline div, add an attribute like this:
ex:eventLabel=".timelinelabel"
Let me know if that works.
