Thanks for the response. In the case of aligning events with rows... someone I work with that uses Timeline suggested I create a Timeline row (I forget the particular term) *PER* event, and I can tell Timeline to keep them in sync. Then I can put labels in the web page at the right locations to align with the rows (not particularly clean but I suppose it's the quickest path to success). Thanks for the hint on editing event times.

Would something looking like this be close enough to what you want? http://www.lincolnstein.org/timelines/ In which case, you can simply view that web page's source code to see how. > (2) The user needs to be able to drag a date span that is plotted left > and right to adjust the schedule. Hmm, we don't support editing yet. Search for "createDurationDiv" in this source code http://simile.mit.edu/timeline/api/scripts/painters.js to see how that currently works. You will need to write your own Timeline.DurationEventPainter.prototype.paint in a <script> element after you include timeline-api.js. Which is not so easy. For adding new events on the fly, see Liming Xu's example: http://www.ajaxlab.com/timeline/tasks.html Hope that helps, David _______________________________________________ General mailing list [email protected] http://simile.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/general
