in my opinion it would make marriages display lighter.

I wanted to make the vertical line a dotted line

for the end of the marriage, a dotted line too.

I like the blue time lines to be present for all Life lines but find it confusing when other 'life events' use it also which if they are to have a line, then it should not be the same as the blue Life line i.e. slim black line or other coloured line. This would show more clearly the life events occurring within the time span of the blue Life line.

I am not sure what the bug is, Ron, I think any Marriages that are current i.e. coninue until TODAY have a blue time line but the others do not because they do not have a finish date, even though they are complete through death of one partner. Therefore they stand as a single point entry only and show no blue line. In other words, Yes you are right and some code to correct this would provide consistency and accuracy.

If there is a divorce date present then a duration line is displayed. So I guess you mean a marriage is 'completed' when the first spouse dies. If this is so I can put some code in for this.

I am thinking of changing the initial state of the duration lines on/off toggle to be off so that the chart is not dominated by blue lines at the end and is also more compact in terms of height. Thoughts anyone?

I have managed to code the individuals timelines so I hope to release the next revision sometime tomorrow once I have added family timelines.

I have had to get a quite good understanding of the code in order to achieve this and I am much in awe of the guys at MIT, especially David Huynh, in producing this Timeline 'widget' with Javascript. The coding techniques employed have been a huge eyer-opener for me.

A life line exists for completed lives and continuing lives

A life line does not exist for completed marriages only for continuing marriages.

Should there be consistency in these rules, making reading the time lines easier.

Actually I have always been able to open the index.htm in the Skin folder to check the effect of my personalisations and even now I can still do this with all my skins that were adapted from the normal English Narative Report skin.

It is only when I add the timeline files to the skin that this problem arises. In spite of this the report generates normally.

PS

I  unticked the error box as the reports are generated normaly so I am not worrying about the minor errors any more.

I have generated a report with all the latest of Ron's innovations with my personalised pages and the result is superb. :

Thanks Ron,

Now it works perfect! The vertical scrollbar addition is great!!

Thanks again,

I think you are missing my point. Your tree on this site is report generated from a skin template and not the skin template itself. I believe you have opened a file with IE from a report skin template by mistake. index.html in a report opens default.htm. If you open index.html in a skin template folder rather than a generated report folder it will open the skin file default.htm, which is not an HTML file at all, but a VBScript used to generate an HTML file. Hence the errors

This is exactly what I did, but I never get this problem with a classic skin even when personalised as you can see in my tree on this site. I only get it when the timeline files are added.
