I'm working on an interactive history of the University of Washington using Timeline. Thus far, it's been great. Check out our current beta version: http://www.washington.edu/alumni/timeline/index.html
We're doing something a little different than most of the uses of Timeline that I've seen. We spent quite a bit of time hacking the way Timeline displayes in order to provide a streamlined, quality experience. Anyway, my question (well, a couple really). I'm working on a version of the Timline that will allow our grads to add themselves. I'm having some problems with the bubble display. In IE the bubbles don't display at all for the 2nd timeline. In other browsers, it displays, but always in the upper left side of the timeline rather than near the event as it should (and does in the main top timeline). Here the test version: http://www.washington.edu/alumni/timeline/index-double.html On the lower timeline, try scrolling to 1960 to see a few entries. I'm guessing it's some problem with our javascript (I'm no js expert). Any idea what's going wrong? Also, we're hoping lots of alumni to add their own entries. If we're successful, displaying all those points will be tricky. Right now, about 5 entries per year fills up the entire vertical space. I tried using the compact event painter to overlap them, but for some reason, it strips the classname attribute that we were using to style. Did I miss something or is it intentionally stripped? Any other thoughts on how best to display a bunch of entries? I was thinking limiting to just icons w/o any label to save space. You'd see their name if you hovered over or clicked. Thanks in advance for any help. And apologies for the hacked up version of timeline we're using! mark -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "SIMILE Widgets" group.
