Hi Dustin,
SpanHighlightDecorator won't do what you want. You need to write a new
decorator that puts a label on the left edge of a band. Take a look at
the PointHighlightDecorator in
http://simile.mit.edu/timeline/api/scripts/decorators.js
The difference is that you need to constantly adjust the position of the
label by adding some code in the softPaint method. softPaint is called
when the band is scrolled. To determine the pixel offset corresponding
to the left edge, use something like this:
var pixelOffset =
this._band.dateToPixelOffset(this._band.getMinVisibleDate());
I don't know how smoothly that will behave. So have a try and let me know.
