  issue 344 (Exhibit not filtering properly in Firefox, OK in I.E.- on bo...) commented on by gcccdtechprep   -   Update--I discovered that running the "Format HTML" cleanup tool in sharepoint broke the filter, when it broke the code into several lines. When I put the code back into a single line, the information showed up again. It doesn't make sense, but I've had that problem with the sharepoint tool in the past where it added a white space in the layout for no reason, so I tried the single line solution in this case and it worked.

  issue 343 (Events w/o descriptions open empty bubbles) reported by ma...@whatscookin.com   -   In the current code in SVN, if you don't have an event description, you get a clickable event and a empty bubble. A better option would be to put a test around the SimileAjax.DOM.registerEvent calls, eg: if (! /^\s*$/.test(evt.getDescription())) { SimileAjax.DOM.registerEvent(result.iconElmtData.elmt, "mousedown", clickHandler); SimileAjax.DOM.registerEvent(result.labelElmtData.elmt, "mousedown", clickHandler); } else { result.iconElmtData.elmt.style.cursor = "default"; result.labelElmtData.elmt.style.cursor = "default"; }

  issue 30 (TIMELINE : Event labels wrap when 'classname' attribute is a...) commented on by ma...@whatscookin.com   -   I am not sure what the status on this is. It looks like SimileAjax.Graphics._FontRenderingContext.prototype.computeSize was updated to accept a classname. However, it looks like all of the this._frc.computeSize calls in the painters don't pass in a classname (at least in the code I checked out of SVN). I believe all of the lines that look like: var labelSize = this._frc.computeSize(text); can be changed to: var labelSize = this._frc.computeSize(text, "timeline-event-label " + (labelData.className ? labelData.className : "")); This is working for me w/ CompactPainter.

It is possible that you need to purge the cache after updating the XML file. For example, if you changed the caption and uploaded the file to the server it is possible that the browser still uses the cached version. Alexey

  issue 342 (CDATA in event XML) reported by ma...@whatscookin.com   -   Forgive me if this has been reported, but I searched and didn't see it. I am not sure if Timeline.DefaultEventSource.prototype.loadXML() is properly handling CDATA in an event. Right now the code is checking to see if the nodeType is 3, which is a TEXT_NODE. I think at the least, this should be changed to check for 3 or 4 (TEXT_NODE or CDATA_SECTION_NODE). There is a larger issue of allowing text, CDATA, and comments inside an event element. I think the best way to handle this is check to see if node.firstChild is not null, and then loop through the child nodes and build up the description string from any children that are TEXT_NODE or CDATA_SECTION_NODE. I will likely patch my local copy if a diff is desired.

Like stack events within the hour or within the day. Or better yet, provide the ability to autostack. The issue I am running into is when I have say 30 items within an hour period, the drawing of the results extend outside the timeline and not visiable to the user. The auto expand is an option but I would rather not utilize it. It would cause my page to become huge. Another thought would be to allow for dynamic hotzones. Where the timeline understood how many results are displayed in a timeframe and flexed how discrete the zone needed to be.

  issue 232 (TIMELINE. Simile Timeline ) commented on by idan.hadad   -   Hey everyone, Simile has memory leaks and it happens when you refresh the page or just loading the page with setTimeOut (js function) many times. The "dispose" function included in the package doesn't do its job so well. After many tests I have made I can tell that using YAHOO events manager is necessary. But not enough! - One important thing - you must use the YAHOO.util.Event.removeListener also, which was not mentioned in this post. I have changed the TimeLine.dispose and added few lines that remove the listeners and free the memory that was allocated to bands, events, bubbles etc. I recommend you all to dispose the events allocated by Simile TimeLine in case you suffer from memory leaks. I use TimeLine dynamicly, bands and events being moved according to timers every second - so it matters alot. Idan.

  issue 290 (Runway fails on IE reload or simple navigation) commented on by farhan.irshad   -   Hi all, I've certainly been feeling the pain on this issue. To confirm comments before, the first instance of a page load containing Runway on IE8 is successful, subsequent reloads on that same instance of IE8 result in no images/functionality being loaded. If you set the Internet Options -> Browsing History -> Settings -> Check for new versions.... to Everytime, then you don't experience the issue. This confirms to me that the problem was IE cache based. Further research took me to the following link: http://www.experts-exchange.com/Web_Development/Miscellaneous/Q_22050560.html Digging around, I found that in Runway, the src file is being set within the runway.js file, around line 108: this._elmt.innerHTML = Runway.Flash.generateObjectEmbedHTML( "src", Runway.swf I basically inserted a randomly generated number onto the 'Runway.swf' on my locally hosted version of runway.js and this seems to have solved the issue. The code now looks like: var random = new Date().getTime().toString(); this._elmt.innerHTML = Runway.Flash.generateObjectEmbedHTML( "src", Runway.swf + "?" + random, Would be interested to know if this resolves the issue for anyone else....and whether anyone sees any problems with this. Many thanks

  issue 24 (TIMELINE: classname attribute in XML source does not add a c...) commented on by alessiogambi   -   Hi, maybe this could help a bit. I notice that if you use the library at: http://simile.mit.edu/timeline/api/timeline-api.js, you cannot set the classname attribute from the xml (actually also using the loadJSON function). However, from the web site (http://www.simile-widgets.org/timeline/examples/test_example/test.html) you can live experiment a nice timeline that correctly uses thie feature (loading from XML the classpath attribute). If you look in the code the comment says: <!-- To use this file on your own system, replace ../../api/timeline-api.js with --> <!-- http://static.simile.mit.edu/timeline/api-2.3.0/timeline-api.js --> but the actual library linked to the page is different: http://www.simile-widgets.org/timeline/api/timeline-api.js?bundle=true And guess what? It works fine, also loading xml files. Now the question is: what is the right version/copy of the library? Could you also please to correct or change the comment inside the page to reflect the right situation? Many thanks. Cheers. -- Alessio PS: really good job !!
