I gave this a shot here -> http://www.simile-widgets.org/wiki/User:Wjw and it worked very nicely!
I am very interested in server side supply of input to exhibit. I have had a fair amount of success doing so with TimeLine and am pleased with the results. I have been unable to find equivalent functionality in my searches of the discussions or in the documentation. Perhaps I have been looking in the wrong places? Timeline has the: .eventSource.clear() .loadXML(...) (or .loadJSON) Which I have been using to clear, and then load in new data on the fly from cgi scripts (perl) into an existing timeline. The .loadXML() points to my cgi script which accepts values handed in from a form on the timeline page instead of at a static file. Works great! :-) I would have thought that Exhibit would have similar functionality but have not been able find it. I suspect part of the problem is that I don't know how to frame the question. So if we are talking about the same thing, and you do get to posting some of your code, it would be great. Thanks for the example on posting the code... wjw On Oct 13, 11:51 pm, John Callahan <[email protected]> wrote: > There have been several emails in the past few months about using server > side to dynamically generate input to Timeline, Timeplot, and Exhibit > widgets.
