Hi Adrien,
Thank you for your time on this.
Am I understanding you correctly that a band with a start and stop
date won't be scrollable? Does that mean that it needs to fit entirely
in the width of the browser?
Sounds like the plan is to implement the band with start/stop dates as
an overview band with low resolution, then have a more detailed band
(the main one) be scrollable. Is this right? If so, what happens when
the main (detailed) band gets to the left or right side of the over
view band? Does it stop scrolling at that point?
Regarding your patch:
Can you use a better comment than
+ // hack for easier subclassing
+ if (timeline !== undefined) {
+ this.initialize(timeline, bandInfo, index);
+ }
What are you accomplishing by the statement (timeline !== undefined)?
Why would timeline be changed from defined to undefined (or vice-
versa) at that point?
Would it be better to use "extend" from
http://www.kevlindev.com/tutorials/javascript/inheritance/index.htm or
similar?
Thanks,
Larry
