Hello, thanks for a great tool.
I have couple of things I think would greatly improve the timeline.
1. Support for mouse-wheel scrolling. Grabbing and dragging the very long
timeline can be really annoying, something like mouse wheel could be a very
nice alternative.
2. My timeline spans over few years and it'd be great if there was a way
for me to position the timeline to a certain date by some sort of external
call. I'm thinking of may be a list of dates implemented in the form of
HTML combo-box or just static set of links that send the scrolling command
to a timeline control.
I apologize if any of the above has already been implemented, please let me
know about it.
Thank you again
Eugene

There is already support for Keys: i.e. PageUp and PageDown Keys as well as
up and down arrows work for me.= to scroll the timeline.

There is also double click support. If you double click at a certain spot
on the band the timeline positions itself to that spot.
But I agree, Mousewheel support and a way to programatically position it be
a very cool feature. The problem is that the mouse wheel is already used
for scrolling the browser window so its a bit tricky to implement.

Eugene,
support for your number 2 can be implemented with centerTimeline(). See the
way I did it at http://home.myuw.net/jjcrump/Timelines/JohnItinerary2.html
a simple list of year links thus:
<a class="year" href="javascript:centerTimeline(1199);">1199</a>
Having said that, a big "me too" on mousewheel support.
