I've been looking at the timeline widget which appears to have a problem
- whether or not it counts as a bug or a design choice, I'm not sure.
If you specify a date in the xml without specifying a time it seems to
apply some kind of local or timezone to it, which can make it display at
a different date to that specified.
For example, if you look at the example Jewish History timline
(http://simile.mit.edu/timeline/examples/religions/jewish-history.html)
one of the last entries 'Bnei Menashe recognized as lost tribe shows up
as occuring at 'Mar 30 2005 17:00:00 GMT' when you click on it in the
timeline, but if you look at the xml, the date is specified as
'start='Mar 31 2005'.
(http://simile.mit.edu/timeline/examples/religions/jewish.xml)
I'm seeing the same problem on a timeline I'm building, where some dates
are shifted back 1 hour if they are for events that fall within British
Summer Time for me.
Is there a way round this I've missed, a deliberate choice (i.e you must
always specify a time with a date), or a bug?
Thanks,
Matthew
