Hi,

Could you elaborate more on your question? Perhaps provide a pointer / code to illustrate what you're referring to?

Hi - yes sorry.

Basically Im trying to specify the track where a particular object is located in the timeline view. Currently if 2 objects have the same date/time attribute they appear on the timeline in the order they appear in the json file.

In timeline the attribute to do this is tracknum = "1" or "2" etc and works but doesnt seem to work in exhibit

An example of it working on timeline is here
http://simile-widgets.googlecode.com/svn/timeline/trunk/src/webapp/examples/test_example3/test_example3.html

here is part of the code for ref

{ "start": "2009-03-10T06:00:00+00:00",
"end": "2009-03-31T22:00:00+00:00",
"instant": false,
"title": "1",
"color": "#7FFFD4",
"textColor": "#000000",
"caption": "1",
"trackNum": 1,
"classname": "special_event2 aquamarine",
"description": "bar 1"},

                         {"start": "2009-03-10T08:00:00+00:00",
                            "end": "2009-03-17T20:00:00+00:00",
                        "instant": false,
                          "title": "1.1",
                          "color": "#7FFFD4",
                      "textColor": "#000000",
                       "trackNum": 2,
                    "description": "bar 1.1"},

                         {"start": "2009-03-12T10:00:00+00:00",
                            "end": "2009-03-13T17:00:00+00:00",
                        "instant": false,
                          "title": "1.1.1",
                          "color": "#7FFFD4",
                      "textColor": "#000000",
                       "trackNum": 3,
                    "description": "bar 1.1.1"},

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Many thanks
