Timeline Generator from hCal or vCal beta 1

Using Timeline Generator

Thanks for using Timeline Generator from hCalendar Microformats and vCalendar RDF. It uses web standards (likes XML and XSL) to get the best of web. As philosophy issue, first the Microformat (hCalendar) is converted to RDF and then to Timeline-XML.

Simply insert URI of Your XHTML containing hCalendar on hCal field or vCalendar URI on vCal field if You already have RDF calendar.

Tips using Timeline Generator

So there are more known bugs and tips. To glean correctly hCalendar from XHTML page ensure it's well-formed XML (Timeline Generator tries to parse XHTML as XML). If You get the Javascript error "xml has no properties" cross fingers and try again. I'm improving stability of services.

What is Simile Timeline?

from Simile Timeline site:

Timeline is a DHTML-based AJAX widget for visualizing time-based events. It is like Google Maps for time-based information. Below is a live example that you can play with. Pan the timeline by dragging it horizontally. Just like Google Maps, Timeline can be used with zero software installation, server-side or client-side. And like Google Maps, you can populate Timeline with data by pointing it to an XML file (here is the data file for the timeline above).
