Thanks for the info and the demo. Strange thing is, I looked at it this
weekend and it worked. I came back this monday morning went back to inspect
the code and what not, and it does not work anymore. Check or uncheck the
showValues is always on. I did an update from source control, got the updated
files tried it for myself and it does not seem to be working.
I also noticed in my latest pull from source
(http://simile.mit.edu/repository/timeplot/trunk/src/webapp/api) that
timeplot.js, i belive, has an error in it.
_clearLabels: function() {
---->var labels = document.getElementById("timeplot-labels");
if (labels) this._containerDiv.removeChild();
labels = document.createElement("div");
labels.id = "timeplot-labels";
this._containerDiv.appendChild(labels);
},
I think the marked line should read:
var labels = this._containerDiv.firstChild;
I dont think I have seen the labels div not be the first child. I have several
plots on the page at any given time, so simply searching for the ID
"timeplot-labels" just won't do.
It also seems that the "_clearLabels" only gets called when creating a new
plot, and it does not get called when doing a plot.update(). Is that by design?
-ChazZ
ever wonder if a word, when misused so many times, could lose all of its
meaning?
now thats ironic...

Yeah,
I
didn't
think
of
that

the
Timeplot.Plot

I
just
fixed
that
in
the
current
live
Timeplot.
See

how
to
