This is how it works (or rather how it breaks):
1. The bubble is filled up by the function "fillInfoBubble" at the end of
http://simile.mit.edu/timeline/api/scripts/sources.js
2. ... which calls the function "fillTime" in the same file
3. ... which calls
labeller.labelPrecise(...)
4. The argument "labeller" is passed in from
Timeline.DurationEventPainter.prototype._showBubble at the end of
http://simile.mit.edu/timeline/api/scripts/painters.js
5. ... which comes from the band.
6. The band gets its labeller in its parameters at construction time or
creates its own labeller. Search for
timeline.getUnit().createLabeller(this._locale, this._timeZone)
in this file
http://simile.mit.edu/timeline/api/scripts/timeline.js
7. labelPrecise is implemented in
http://simile.mit.edu/timeline/api/scripts/labellers.js
It removes the time zone offset and then generates a string by calling
toUTCString, which always slaps on "GMT" at the end. This is clearly not
the right thing to do. If anyone has a patch, please send it to me! Thanks.
Hope that helps,
David
