I have a web page with DIVs with a mouseover handler that is intended to show a pop-up information bubble. I don't want more than one info bubble to be visible at a time. But when the user moves the mouse rapidly over two items, I sometimes get two bubbles. This should not happen, because the code for showing a pop-up cancels the previou...
I created a loader for a Simile Timeplot that is implemented as a jQuery plugin. This works fine in Firefox but fails to load correctly in IE(8). The timeplot api loads the timeline api which in turn loads some version of jQuery (presumably an old version). The timeline jquery reference confuses IE and it is unable to display graphs nice...
I'm using MIT's Simile to display thumbnails and links with faceted filtering. I works great, but large data sets (greater than 500 elements) start to slow significantly. My user base will tolerate seconds, but not 10's of seconds, and certainly not minutes while the page renders. Is it the volume of data in the JSON structure? Is it...
I've experimented with Simile's exhibit and see the usefulness of the graphical display via a prototype implementation on machines which have access to the internet. We have need to migrate the prototype from the open internet to a closed intranet, where only internal servers are available. The timeline seems feasible, but maps depende...
'm using to Exhibit to, pretty simply, display some data on historical events and book publication dates: http://f1shw1ck.com/timeline3/exhibit.html Everything works fine, and I have been able to get the timeline running as wanted, until I try to take control of the timeline with a timelineConfig script. After I add this, my timeline co...
In Simile Exhibit is an attribute called ex:columnFormats.

I've discov...
I'm using Simile to draw dynamic timelines. I am also using an in-house library to add a comment blog. Our in-house library uses the body element's onload event to initialize. <body onload="initComments('myID')"> But Simile seems to have hijacked the onload for their own purpose so that initComments('myID') never executes. Short of...
When using the javascript timeline widget simile, i see there is hour, day, week, month, year intervals. Is there anyway to have an interval be a quarter of a year? i am trying to group events into Quarter1, Q2, Q3, Q4 in 2010. ...
Does anyone have any thoughts about making Simile read data from a database without using XML? Or is XML definitely the way to go. I'd like to hear about possible alternatives and opinions around what would be the most optimal solution. The data I will be using are basically just coordinates and geographical names, as well as some small...

Hi, I'm currently trying to create SIMILE Timeline from elements of my page, using some dom loading. So far, I'm able to have my elements (as prototype Element objects) in an array, linked with their apparition date as javascript Date objects. What I'm trying to do now is to load a timeline using these objects. The code shows no error,...
