Ryan and David, Your answers have been MOST instructive. Apparently I need to give Exhibit a thorough going-over, which I have not yet. If I end up building a slider/range facet, I guarantee I'll share it with the project.
And Ryan, as an aside, I intermittently had Javascript errors with that Time Wall demo from machine to machine also, and...that really doesn't give me a warm fuzzy about the other product.
