Ganttify is (will be) a jQuery plugin that generates gantt charts

The goals for this project include but are not limited to

• Ability to load items via XHR
• Ability to load items via callbacks
• Ability to load items via constructor (DONE)
• Ability to parse XML and JSON at minimum
• Backwards compatibility with older browsers
• As screen size get's smaller, hide date/completion/etc columns
• Make the header optional
• When width of gantt root container get's too small, start hiding columns
• User can specify the order they want columns hidden
• Pan via mouse drag
• Allow hide/show columns at runtime
• Only re-draw/update what changed
• User defined callbacks for:
  • Items with no title (DONE)
    • Items with no description (DONE)
• Zoom via mouse scroll
• Keyboard zoom/pan/expand/collapse
• Ability to re-order items in the gantt chart
• Look good :D
• Be fast!

Questions:

• Think about how to calculate the epoch's when days/start/end/etc are missing from an item
• Perhaps we just omit items with erronous/missing properties (start, end, days)
• Which number of days do we use, the one we calculate, or the user specified one?
• Should we even rely on a "number of days" property? It would allow for a start date and offset resulting in less network traffic Would allow for an end date and negative offset resulting in less network traffic
• Do we even calculate the number of days if a user specified one exists?
• If we find our # days don't match user specified, what do we do? User definable callback? Omit item altogether? Use our number of days?
