I want to implement something similar to MAC OS X Time Machine in terms of having time-line on the page side and then clicking on a specific day will pull a page from the server.

I have good experience with Ruby on Rails. I’m less experienced with GUI design and was wondering what in your opinion is the optimum way to do something like that. Couple of ideas came to mind:
– Use Adobe Flex (or maybe Silverlight?)
– Use JQuery (or similar JavaScript library)
– Use something like Objective JavaScript

It would be nice if you can recommend something. Also it would be if you know of similar open-source project or plugin that might help.

Thanks,

Tam

    I want to go ahead and say Flash/Flex, but Flash does not have full css/html support to render out complex pages, so unless you combined the effect with JavaScript/CSS/HTML and some clever overlays, you wouldn’t be able to do it.
