Kris,
I think you've already got most of it working with those links below the
timeline. Now it's a matter of adding a textbox and a button
<input type="text" id="date-textbox"></input> <button
onclick="centerTimeline(document.getElementById('date-textbox').value);">Go</button>
If you want the timeline to scroll smoothly instead of jump to the date,
use scrollToCenter instead of setCenterVisibleDate.
