That's the way the Timeline renderer works - Bands are drawn on div's that are 5x the width of the Timeline container, and when you drag, it is simply moving the band within that container. Once it reaches 1.5x the distance to either end, the code will recenter the band div and do a complete layout. This is to keep the actual number of event objects (divs, icons, labels, etc) that need to be created down to a more manageable size.
You will find this code by looking in /api/scripts/band.js and looking in the Timeline._Band.prototype._moveEther function. When it detects it is nearing the end of the Band div, it calls _recenterDiv(), which in turn calls layout(). You can have your changes re-applied by adding a listener for the 'paintEnded' event fired when it is done with the new layout and event item creation. The better way to handle this is to write your own renderer that adds the DOM modifications during the layout and painting of the events, rather than applying them after the fact. This is not hard to do, and will make it easier for you to maintain your code, rather than trying to mess with the default behavior of Timeline. --Mike On Mar 9, 2012, at 12:30 PM, Zach wrote: > I do a bunch of DOM modifications after the timeline is displayed, > like injecting a div into every label to add functionality.
