Hi Mark,
just by coincidence, I found an example that did just that. So I had
to do the following:
1. Add the property "classname" to the JSON data (I am using the JSON
format). In my example, I used 'pojo'.
2. Look at the resulting rendering of the HTML. I found there:
<div class="tape-pojo pojo timeline-event-tape" id="tape0-tl-0-0-
e8" .../>
<div class="label-pojo pojo timeline-event-label" id="label-tl-0-0-
e8" .../>
3. Include in your CSS file rules about pojo, tape-pojo or label-pojo
to specify the display.
Just what I looked for, and it works great without changing any
Javascript code.
Thank's to all for the help and for that great tool.
Bye
Markus
