Hi Kris,
Something along the lines of this will work. The only problem is that
there is no error checking so if someone enters something other than
an integer, things tend to blow up.
<FORM NAME="date_select" ACTION="javascript: centerTimeline
(document.date_select.goto_date.value);">
<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="goto_date" VALUE=""><INPUT TYPE="submit"
VALUE="Jump to Year">
</FORM>

Hi!
I am a teacher rather inexperienced in web design looking to
incorporate Simile Timeline in a course I'm teaching online about
German literature. We've created the basic timeline and added
events, but we're finding it difficult to scroll through decades or
centuries of events in the top band. Is there some way to add a
search box that would allow users to enter the year they want to go
to and have that time period show up? ( i.e. "Go to 2007" and have
it automatically scroll forward from the timeline's starting point,
which is currently somewhere around 1700, to 2007)
Our very crude draft can be located at:

Thanks!
