Hi Dave, Re: > Is there a way to pass a parameter to tell a timeline to center itself > on the most recent event without having to know what that date might > be?
Not currently. But the javascript to do so wouldn't be too hard. You'd need to scan the events to find the most recent one, then call band_object.setCenterVisibleDate(date) to move the timeline. See http://code.google.com/p/simile-widgets/wiki/Timeline_Moving_the_Timeline_via_Javascript Even better and faster would be to have your server side software figure out the time of the latest event in the event file, then dynamically write the javascript to move the Timeline. -- As I've been planning my Timeline app, I've realized that there are a number of design issues where the right idea is to calculate something once on the server, then store the information and make it available with either the html file or the Timeline datafile to the Timeline page. Calculations on the server can be done once per set of event data rather than once per download/display of the event data.
