Hi Larry: It was pretty simple once I realized that some other DIVs were in play. I have been using timeline with a package call EXT JS. (extjs.com). It is pretty slick. If you have ever seen Java's SWING L&F then you have a pretty good idea of what this package looks like. Anyway, I have the timeline in an EXTJS panel object. Tha object is in the center of the screen surrounded by borders and insets. It was the width of those borders and insets plus the location of the enclosing DIV that I had to use in my calculations:
* var where = timelinePanel.getPosition(); * var mouse = e.getXY(); * var X = (mouse[0]-where[0])-timeLine.getBand(0).getViewOffset(); . . . . * editEventForm.setStartDate(timeLine.getBand(0).pixelOffsetToDate(X-5)); The "where" var contains the pixel offset from the left of the browser window to the left edge of the enclosing DIV(timelinePanel). The "mouse" var is an array with [0] as the x-axis. Of course "timeLine.getBand(0).getViewOffset()" is from the timeline code. I hope this helps anyone who is interested greg On Nov 10, 3:17 pm, LarryK <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Greg, > > Excellent.
