Graham,

Have you tried using Firebug (http://www.getfirebug.com/) on Firefox to debug Javascript? I've found it invaluable for locating bugs in my code.

Thanks David,
one more question, The error message I get is "syntax error" ... I was trying to determine where that originated from, it didnt seem like it came from the Timeline._Impl.prototype .loadJSON function, as that ferror function is: "Failed to load json data from". As I said, I get this error when a malformed xml or json file is presented to timeline.

Thanks.

You can override those functions yourself by just writing some
Javascript code after you include timeline-api.js.

In http://simile.mit.edu/timeline/api/scripts/timeline.js, find
Timeline._Impl.prototype.loadXML. Then make a copy of that code and
change the fError inner function.

Cheers,

David
