| 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/ | |
