Hi,
Question from a beginner if you'd be up for it:
I have everything up and running aside from autoWidth. (I'm dynamically
loading events)
What I've found mentions that I should call the finishedEventLoading()
function and that will resolve the autoWidth not working.
How does one call the finishedEventLoading function if they've initialized
the timeline using the following?
var bandInf = [] ;
// ... push bandInf elements
$("#tline").syrinxTimeline({ bands: bandInf });
I had thought something like $("#tline").finishedEventLoading(); or
$("#tline").SyrinxTimeline().finishedEventLoading();
I assume this is just my lack of understanding jQuery, but any advice would
be greatly appreciated.
-Mike
