Thanks. I copied your page's source into my editor, then I was able to identify the scripts and markup for the four timelines. I then remarked out all but the material except for the first (upper left) timeline.
Now I will examine the imported scripts carefully to get a better idea of what's going on in them. I won't go into the Timeline stuff, but I am not as familiar with AJAX and jQuery as I think I need to be to go further. Nonetheless, this is the farthest I've been able to get after many tries. I am in your debt. On Sunday, January 26, 2014 8:20:55 PM UTC-5, paul chubb wrote: > > Hi Charles, > Most developer effort seems to be focused on Exhibit. > The group also seems to be a bit slow.
