What do you mean by "dynamically change"?
If you mean simply loading different datasets at initialization time, then it
is a simple call to loadXML (or loadJSON):
tl.loadXML("examples/jfk/jfk.xml", function(xml, url) {
eventSource.loadXML(xml, url); });
You just specify the path to the desired data file: "examples/jfk/jfk.xml"
This could be a path to some service on your server that returns dynamically
generated data, such as "incidentReports.xml?date=2011-05-16"
You can also load your timeline data after the page has been loaded and the
timeline drawn. You might have links on your page to let the user fetch
different datasets.
Is this what you are referring to?
