This is a seriously nice open-source timeline component built in JavaScript.
Very nice.
The timeline can be zoomed by dragging the vertical slider at the right. I really like the mousewheel function – it also works as a zoom controller. Any white area can be dragged left and right. Clicking on an event brings up a small window with a description, links, etc …
Timeglider is a zooming, panning data-driven timeline — great for history projects, project planning, and much more. This Javascript/jQuery plugin is completely free & open-source [MIT]. Commercial solutions are under development which will complement the timeline viewer: authoring tools, databases, support plans, etc. Our code repository is at github.com/timeglider.
Learn more, grab some code, and download from the Time Glider website.
