Backport the Simple Time Slider

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Within the Geonovum Sensors Pilot a Heron viewer was developed that used a 
simple slider-based time setting for WMS Layers that support WMS TIme 
Dimension. See the example here: http://sensors.geonovum.nl/heronclient.

Here both air quality and a rain radar can be viewed in time.

The original code was developed by KNMI (Dutch Meteo) in the context of their 
Ext-based viewer. SOme adaptation was required to have the code run as a Heron 
component. The work for this issue is to integrate the code within the Heron 
project and build an example. The example will be at 
http://lib.heron-mc.org/heron/latest/examples/simpletimeslider

The TimeSlider will be called SimpleTimeSlider, as within Heron there is 
already a TimeSlider. The difference is that STS will indicate a single 
timestamp, while the TS filters a timerange. Possibly the name 
WMSDimensionSlider would be more accurate.

Hi Just,
the changes in rev 1561 causes the following error coming from the DynLoader.js 
section (line 108 ..."widgets/SimpleTimeSliderPanel.js",...) - for example in 
the 'appdemo':

Meldung: Das Objekt unterstützt diese Eigenschaft oder Methode nicht.
Zeile: 54
URI: http://172.28.39.217/LIB/heron-trunk/lib/widgets/SimpleTimeSliderPanel.js

I cannot reproduce this issue on Mac Chrome and Windows 7 IE 9. Can you provide 
more detail of the context (platform, browser, version, scenario etc) where 
this issue occurs?

Ok - the line 54 error is this: new Date().toISOString() => IE8 doesn't support 
'toISOString'.

!!! This IE8 failure in 'SimpleTimeSliderPanel.js' caused the problem that IE8 
could not load any of the 'latest example' links !!!

I've found a solution and will post it.

Closing this issue, from here on in maintenance mode. Assuming the IE8 issue 
was fixed. Otherwise a new bug report can be opened.
