Hmmm, I just tried it against Timeline 2.3.0, and it works as advertised.
What version of Timeline are you using? Are you hosting it locally or off
simile-widgets.org?
In the JS console in your browser, try creating an event and see what it says.
That's all that the Event constructor really needs for an instant event.
You can see for yourself if you visit simile-widgets.org and go to one of the
example timelines.
Paste this code into the console and hit enter and you should see the new event
appear on the timeline.
function addBreakpoint()
{
var evt = new Timeline.DefaultEventSource.Event ({
start: new Date("May 03 2003 00:00:00 GMT-0600"),
instant : true,
text : "An event",
description : "A description",
});
tl.getBand(0).getEventSource().add(evt);
tl.paint();
}
addBreakpoint();
