I am beginning a new project for the El Müstair Rexhital (The Royal Archives) -- a comprehensive timeline of the historical events in Talossan history. For this project, I'd like the timeline to be sort-able by category of event. For example, I'd like to be able to sort out all grants of citizenship, or all the military appointments, etc.... from the master list of ALL events.
Does anyone in this fine establishment either (a) know of a third-party application that could accomplish such a thing, or (b) know how to code such a thing in a KoT.net page? My HTML skills are moderate but do not extend to such things as sortable tables/databases.

L'Oversteir (the Talossan<>English translator on our web site) is capable of doing similar kinds of sorting tricks, so I'm sure Lord Hooligan will be able to set you up. |

Indeed, and he has contacted me to offer his help. Meanwhile, I have also tested out a third-party service that creates dynamic timelines. If you're interested, here is it: www.xtimeline.comPlease understand this is TEST ONLY, and contains very limited info. I'd love to hear any comments/thoughts you have about this one. |

I don't like all the ads, but other than that it's pretty cool. Can you classify the events in different categories and change the colour and/or shape of their icons on the timeline?

speaking of ads... whats up with the 1/2 ads at the top? I realize that you must get funding but it just seems that there are unlimited topics of these ads.

I forget about ads -- never have seen the ones on the page in question. Firefox + Add Blocker Plus kills them all. It is a definite strike against the service, however.

Another thing I can do it embed that timeline into another page, which I think will eliminate the ads. However, I tried embedding into a standard KoT.net page, and width of the useable area is restrictive and didn't look good. I'd want to embed it onto a wider page, with at least 500 pixels of width, for it to look good.
