Clicking on a site (in either the map or timeline) opens the map info window. 
If the site is sufficiently close to the edge of the map window, this will 
recenter the map. Recentering the map changes the items shown on the 
timeline, and can potentially hide the item the user clicked, closing the 
info window.

Example - Byblos in the Roman dataset, at the initial zoom level, seems to 
have this issue.

Potential approaches:
- Fix the sort function so as to give precedence to an open item.
- Don't use the map info window? 

Light yellow for Celtic shows up poorly against the light gray background
in the search tab.

like in the same top bar as the FAQ and the search (could replace FAQ as a
more direct term for what the user's looking for -- "Help!")

For the list of sites in the results set, there should be 

a) better indication of the sites that are currently visible -- little
bracket at the top with the legend "shown on timemap"/"shown on map and
timeline" etc.

b) better add to/remove from top level (or "always on/never on")
icons/tools to move sites around in dataset -- or, better, just have one
icon/tool, a little lock for "always show"; available next to everything as
gray/unlocked, then turns black/locked when clicked on (you could lock up
to nine sites, or whatever the timeline will hold; unlocked spaces in the
timeline would be assigned by the usual ranking numbers)

When the user is presented with the results of a search, the terms used in
the search (e.g. "Greek", "Western Mediterranean") should appear at the top
of the tab with X's to allow them to be removed (on remove, should perform
new search/filter with remaining terms, refine results list). Also, provide
link within tab to "Change Search"/"New Search"/etc. that brings user back
to search tab.

Add icon (a little camera?) to all sites that have image results in the
result set tab (so that it will be clear to user where images can be found)

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Click two culture facets 
2. Click off both facets
3. The second facet clicked off loads, because its request wasn't cancelled

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Browse on "Persian" culture in Firefox.
2. Frame the map so that Susa is visible.
3. Scroll to the end of the timeline for the site (200s AD).

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Susa should be visible on the map until the tail of its time-bar scrolls
off the left-hand side of the screen. Instead, it disappears when the text
for its name scrolls off the left-hand side, so there's a bar in the
timeline with no dot on the map.

1. Load a large dataset
2. Click on a site not visible on the timeline
3. The info window opens, but neither the timeline event nor the site marker 
is displayed.

Possible approaches:
- Give precedence to an open item in the sort function
- Show the map icon if a site in the site list is clicked (but maybe not the 
timeline event?)
- Zoom in (pretty far?) when the site list is clicked

Right now we're still relying on the static.simile.mit.edu version of 
Timeline, which involves a bunch of files - we should really switch to a 
packed, single-file version that can live in our project repo (as we're doing 
with timemap.js). This probably needs to be put together manually - I'll look 
into it.

When a search is run, either from the text search or the facets, the tab
should shift when the search is loaded to the result set.
