Wanted: Simpler Filtering Example

2009-01-14 Thread jqueryui-vienna
Although the Filtering function in the JFK timeline example provides stunning functionality, it's definitetely not a good blueprint to derive your own filtering function. I'm still analizing the source which is a mix-up of complex dynamic DOM creation, advanced Javascript Event handling and

Wow, that's really nice David :-) Can we look forward to seeing that in Exhibit? A couple things I noticed (could be user error): 1. Only the top (new) timeline rendered events. I interpreted your comments to mean we'd see the old rendering in the other timelines. 2. For Avery Rockefeller (and
