Today in History
J.T. Burgess


Based off the today Widget, this Widget shows all the events in history listed for each day. Created to scale in order to take up an optimal amount of screen space.

Version 1.1: Added option to make the text cycle. This is a great option for those only showing 1 event per day. Added a background layer for improved dragging and viewing. Also added an optional link to the Wikipedia page featuring information about each day in history.

Been using this widget for a while and it has worked fine. Today it stopped working and launched the debug window...

Global/onLoad: 'visible' is not a Image object attribute (check spelling and case) (onload.js: Line 101)
Errors prevented this Widget from making itself visible

Any ideas? (I'm running 10.2.8 on a G3)

I have noticed some problems with your history of LOTR.... I let slide that you cited Sept, 12 (actually 9-18) as the date of Gandalf's escape from Orthanc, but I cannot let a misleading date for Bilbo's birthday slide.... you have it as today (9-13) when in actuality, Bilbo's birthday is the 22nd of September. Sorry, I am a LOTR fanatic....

Hmm, I'm not seeing these problems...
Could you elaborate on what you're seeing? What version of konfab you're running etc.
Thanks

The version that is up now (7/27/04) should be the correct version. Let me know if you are having any more difficulties.

What a coincidence! The example picture shows 9/28--that's my birthday! Wierd...

telcolote:

I uploaded a newer version. It should be posted soon. It takes care of the occasional cropping issue, as well as a few other minor fixes. Thanks for you input, I'm glad you like it!

great widget, except larger fonts cut off characters at the right end of longer lines - any possibility that can be adjusted? The ability to specify number of events is terrific!
