What is this?
-------------
Timeline is a DHTML-based AJAXy timeline.
Running Timeline
----------------
Timeline consists of static resources, Javascript libraries,
image files and css files. All you really need is to
serve those resources off a web server. Any web server will do.
Two ways to access the library
1. Unzip either timeline_source.zip or timeline_libraries.zip into
a directory served by a webserver.
timeline_source.zip includes complete source and example files. Use your
browser to see the examples at
.../timeline_directory/src/webapp
timeline_libraries.zip is the minimum install of the bundled js libraries,
css and image files
2. No web server? The timeline project includes a small webserver called
Jetty (use the timeline_source.zip file)
a) install the Java runtime from Sun
b) unzip timeline_source.zip to an install directory
c) Open a shell or command prompt to the install directory and type:
[win32]> run
[unix/macosx]> chmod +x run; ./run
and then point your browser to
http://127.0.0.1:9999/timeline/
