Thanks Larry, I think David did this for me in good Christmas spirit! It was the Oregon Treaty entry. I'll rework it and see if I can make it appear.
Thanks for the tips on the presentation. I need to just turn it on live and let people know by email that its working and then they log on and check it out. The perils of distributed projects with Christmas deadlines. Now that it is working, people will be impressed with the API timeline! Thanks. Email me at [email protected] and I'll send you a copy of the offending XML with the entry. One small thing I noticed was at 1807 "Emmigration into the Flathead". It displays following the duration bar and overlaps into the next entry. I've tried to reduce the text to "Flathead" in thinking that it was an issue of my reducing the text in the timeline div and the API thinking that the text was longer. That did not work. It's a small visual error, that I was going to ask about later. Thanks for everyone's help and thanks for working on this API. It's visually well done and the synchronizing of the bands is very cool. Our Metis Timeline will be very educational for the sub-culture that we research (mixed aboriginal/european sub-culture) in mostly Canada, Northwestern USA. Merry Christmas from Canada!
