Thanks a lot for the suggestion, Larry I looked into that feature but I did not find how it could work in my particular case. From what I understand, and it is quite possible that I am missing something very basic here, the the timeline scrollbar kicks in if the number of events is to large for the DIV container of a predefined height to handle. In other words, the band is of the fixed height and if you have the number of events above a certain threshold it will increase and the scrollbar will be painted.
That does not work for me. I have 10 synchronized bands of the fixed height. And the size of the container allows me to show only the first 3 initially. I need to be able to scroll down to see other 7 even in the case when there are no events at all.
