Dear all,

first many thanks to the authors of this project for providing us such 
amazing visualization tools!

I tried to install Exhibit and Timeline locally on our webserver.
For this, I downloaded the source code according to instructions at
http://simile.mit.edu/wiki/Exhibit/Download_Exhibit%27s_Source_Code

The reasons for a local installation are manyfold:
- I want to implement Exhibit and Timeline as analysis tools in our 
library information system; JSON data is generated dynamically via our 
WebOPAC server
- therefore speed is important, and I don't want that data is sent forth 
and back over the atlantic (especially search results of our users)
- Firefox blocks XMLHTTPRequests from external domains

So installed Exhibit and Timeline in the following directories (relative 
to web root):

/js/exhibit/ajax/api/     (and corresponding subdirs)
/js/exhibit/webapp/api/   (and corresponding subdirs)
/js/timeline/ajax/api/    (and corresponding subdirs)
/js/timeline/webapp/api/  (and corresponding subdirs)

Accordingly, I adapted the path as follows (and I think this is correct)  in

exhibit-api.js, line 173:

var url = "/js/exhibit/ajax/api/simile-ajax-api.js?bundle=false";

and included exhibit-api.js as follows in my example files

<script 
src="/js/exhibit/webapp/api/exhibit-api.js?views=timeline&bundle=false"
         type="text/javascript"></script>


However, with that, I always get a JavaScript error (elmt has no 
properties) at line 262 of dom.js

If http://static.simile.mit.edu/exhibit/api/exhibit-api.js?views=timeline
is used, everything works.

You may compare

http://www.clicaps.ethz.ch/test/nobelists/nobelists.html

and

http://www.clicaps.ethz.ch/test/nobelists/nobelists_local.html

to investigate that.

Therefore it looks like the version on the SVN repository and the one 
used by MIT are different.

Any workaround?

Thanks for your help,

Martin
