Hi Joseph,

See 
http://code.google.com/p/simile-widgets/wiki/Timeline_Moving_the_Timeline_via_Javascript
esp setMinVisibleDate

-- If what you mean by "starting" is that you want the left visible edge to be 
the current date.
If you want the Timeline to not be visible before today's date, see the 
Timeline start/stop theme parameters.

Subject: How to get the timeline to start at current time.


I had heretofore been centering the timeline at the current time as
follows.

            var d = new Date();
                var t = d.getTime();
                t += d.getTimezoneOffset()*-60000;
                d.setTime(t);
                tl.getBand(0).setCenterVisibleDate(d);


However, I think I would really actually just like the timeline to
display itself *starting* at the current time instead of centering
there.

I considered trying to get it to center itself at a time such that the
current time would appear to be at the start, e.g. getTime() + x days
or something. However, I can't help but think that there would be an
easier way to do it?

Thanks so much,
Joseph
