You can check the source code of this example for how to control the size of the bubble window: http://simile.mit.edu/timeline/examples/jfk/jfk.html > > Is there a way (or going to be) to type in a year (timeframe) to get > to a specific location (like a search) instead of scrolling? > > My project is covering a 6(K) year span. > You need a little bit of Javascript code for that. Say you have an input text box with ID equal "year-textbox" and a button, then set an onclick event handler on the button to something like this function onThatButtonClick() { var textbox = document.getElementById("year-textbox"); var year = parseInt(textbox.value); var date = new Date(); date.setUTCFullYear(year); tl.getBand(0).setCenterVisibleDate(date); } Let me know if it's not clear. > I have begun a “History of Math” timeline.
