Hi Chad, I messed around with it for a bit, and hopefully came up with what you had in mind:
http://polymer.mit.edu/simile/composers/composers.html The timelineConfig is an object that holds a timelineConstructor function, which Exhibit calls to create the Timeline. The parts of interest are the SpanHighlightDecorator objects, which define highlighted parts of the bands. You'll probably want to edit the ones I added (the dates are reasonably accurate :) ), and add the rest of them. The relevant code starts like: for (var i = 0; i < bandInfos.length; i++) { bandInfos[i].decorators = [ new Timeline.SpanHighlightDecorator({ startDate: new Date(1750, 0, 1), endDate: new Date(1810, 0, 1), startLabel: "", endLabel: "", color: "#FF9000", opacity: 25, theme: theme }), new Timeline.SpanHighlightDecorator({ ... }) ]; } Let me know if you have any more questions! ~ Mason Chad C wrote: > Thanks to Mason and Dave for the help on the Firefox problem.
