For a date range picker facet, I like the way http://kayak.com/ lets you
filter based on departure and arrival dates. Take a look at Kayak and do a
search for any flight, then try filtering the results you get back based on
departure and arrival times to see an example.

It was actually mostly some SVG jogging I happened to do in an Exhibit
context, but yeah, if it's popular and people like it we might want to
add the feature properly in Exhibit too. (Lesson learned: it's
steadily getting less painful to work with SVG in modern browsers, or
at least Firefox. The situation was substantially worse a year ago.)

All very appetizing proposals. I've been toying with the thought of
beefing up a Timeline into an interactable widget of some sort to pick
time spans rather than just browse data through, but it would probably
take more work than I have a time slice for at the moment.
Which would be quite fine if only I manage to get to need something
like that for work purposes at some time. :-)

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried it on
http://people.virginia.edu/~dsg8b/highlight/yearOnTop.html
but the year band still isn't highlighted. Is there something else I
should try?
Thanks!

Hello!
I am a graduate student using the SIMILE timeline to plot the works of
Dante Gabriel Rossetti for a scholarly project
(http://www.rossettiarchive.org). Right now I've set the timeline to
display by decade, but this leads to a lot of crowding - and yet
displaying year-by-year makes for a lot of open space. Is there an
option for half-decade (or 5 years)? It isn't listed in the
documentation.
Best,
Dana

Hi Dana,
When you have something like this
Timeline.createBandInfo({
...
intervalPixels: 200,
...
})
You can adjust the intervalPixels setting to stretch out the band. The
setting means how many pixels should be used for one interval unit (year
or decade in your case).
Hope that helps,
David

The popup windows that appear when clicking on elements in the
timeline are poping under other elements on my page such as divs with
background images or flash animations.
Any ideas?

Hi! David,
I used the Timeline code documented in SIMILE | Timeline | Documentation |
How to Create Timelines to document the timeline of my activities in
http://webalice.it/giuseppe_bux/CreaTimeline.html . It seems that all is
ok! But if in my Kibs.xml data stream of event descriptions (see attached
file) I use event title with a bit more words, the title's display is cut
short after the first two words. What is missing in the code or in the data?
Thanks,
Giuseppe
