Mike and Jon, Thank you for the pieces of code, I would like to try these out, but forgive my ignorance when I ask which file it is you are modifying and where in that file? I searched all of the files for the "loadJSON" and in timeline.js there is a line "Sources[0].loadJSON(args.events, url);" Would it be somewhere around that? This is a single band timeline inside of Drupal. You can view what I have so far at http://bit.ly/9RIVjj just needing to get that first bubble to popup.
If you could let me know where to add either one of your functions I would appreciate! Thank you very much!
