Description
The date which is used to show the simile timeline is set twice in simile.js as this
date: "Jul 28 2006 00:00:00 GMT",
If the two lines get removed the similie timeline would instead use the current date, which I guess is more useful for most people.

Just replace them with
date: new Date().toGMTString(),
comment:3 Changed 18 years ago by
date: new Date().toGMTString(),
This is unneeded, since the original simile code already defaults to "today" if no other date is given.

Figured it out after having re-read the original ticket...
Actually, it would be nice to have the date by default set to what is entered in the View changes from field.

... or the latest date in the returned dataset. I guess this would be easier to pass into the code than the actual value the user typed in.

please even add the year to the upper band - as I was wondering, why the timeline does not show anything... and 10% width is still enough for the upper band...

It worked for me to remove the two lines with hard-coded 2006 dates from each of the files stimeline/htdocs/js/simile.js and stimeline/templates/stimeline.cs. This always starts at today's date, rather than the actual date of the query, but that's not so bad as a quick fix; it's got to be better than July 2006.

I have found that removing the DATE from my widget install will cause IE to fail to create the timeline. It does work correctly in FF. I will try date: new Date().toGMTString(), and see if that corrects my IE problem

Date time set to current date is useful.
