Thank you!  David, both of your suggestions worked.

Question: where is the best place to look for the appropriate 
documentation?  For example, where would I look to learn about 
ex:eventLabel?  I did not see reference to it in 
http://simile.mit.edu/wiki/Exhibit/2.0/Timeline_View or 
http://simile.mit.edu/wiki/Controlling_A_Timeline_Within_An_Exhibit.

Should I not pay too much attention to pages on the MIT wiki but rather 
focus on the documentation pages on Google Code, 
http://code.google.com/p/simile-widgets/?   Thanks.

- John
