David, Thanks for the info. The two timelines on http://tip.wm.edu/mtp/english.php will give you a sense of what I'm trying to do. (This is still a work in progress, so forgive any roughness.) The first that shows up by default uses "run" items to show how long films played at three theaters in Moscow, Russia. The timeline you get by clicking on "Timeline (individual screenings)" show related items--screenings, not runs. That timeline is less visually useful, but it provides some information that the runs timeline doesn't, namely the number of screenings for a particular film on a particular day. Those are obviously very similar items, and ideally I'd have facets for cinemas that worked for both. If there was a way to make inoperable facets disappear, the user wouldn't even know that there were two different facets for these different timeline--the operable one would appear in the same area that the inoperable one disappeared from.
As you'll see, I've got over a thousand items now, and I'm adding dozens everyday using a scraper. There must be a functional limit to what the average browser running on an average machine will be able to process. Do you all have an estimate of where exhibit starts to bog down? Many thanks. I appreciate all the help.
