Hi Larry, based on your good hints i found a working solution for my idea:
http://.../desktopdefault.aspx/tabid-2?cd=1530-06-25 // delivers my desired date which should be used for centering the Timeline. The links comes directly out of my CMS (contentXXL). On my timeline-page i parse the url with javascript: <SCRIPT language="javascript"> var timelineConfig = { timelineConstructor: function (div, eventSource) { . .. ... var date; if (window.location.search != ""){ var datumstring = window.location.search; // delivers ? cd=1530-06-25 var cDate="" +datumstring.substr (4); //1530-06-25 date="" +Timeline.DateTime.parseIso8601DateTime(cDate); //parsing "1530-06-25" with the GregorianDateTime will result in an error }else date="" +Timeline.DateTime.parseIso8601DateTime("2009"); ... .. . // 2009 -- example for the default-date (if your defaultdate is outside of your json-dates the timeline will automatically centers on the nearest event! kewl! (o; {date="" +Timeline.Date...} looks a bit strange but this is only needed in my CMS because the whole timeline is wrapped in a so called html-object and the internal editor needs this ugly workaround with "" + instead of this normally date=Timeline.DateTime.parse... should work also. i know this is pretty simple and not the last version but for my desired centeringlink it works fine.
