Hello listers, 

I'm trying to build out a simple Timeline with two bands, one months,
the other years. When I run the config code below, FireFox 2 loves it,
but IE6 chokes and throws errors along the lines of..."

"Timeline.GregorianDateLabeller.monthNames[...] is null or not an
object"

or

"Timeline.GregorianDatELebeller.monthNames' is null or not an object"

Any idea what I'm screwing up? I've tried substituting a different date
format for my d variable like...

Timeline.DateTime.parseIso8601DateTime("1993-06-01T00:00:00Z")

...but it doesn't help. The one thing that will make it work again is to
replace the " Timeline.DateTime.MONTH" in the large band with "
Timeline.DateTime.YEAR" 

I'm not sure what to make of that, but since I'm on a deadline it might
force me to sacrifice the two-band display.


  function onLoad() {
            var tl;
            var eventSource = new Timeline.DefaultEventSource(0);
            
            var theme = Timeline.ClassicTheme.create();
            theme.event.bubble.width = 250;
            theme.event.bubble.height = 145;
            theme.event.bubble.align = "left";
            theme.ether.backgroundColors[1] =
theme.ether.backgroundColors[0];
            var d = Timeline.DateTime.parseGregorianDateTime("1870")
            var bandInfos = [
                Timeline.createBandInfo({
                    width:          "80%",
                    intervalUnit:   Timeline.DateTime.MONTH, 
                    intervalPixels: 42,
                    eventSource:    eventSource,
                    date:           d,
                    theme:          theme
                }),
                Timeline.createBandInfo({
                    showEventText:  false,
                    trackHeight:    1,
                    trackGap:       2,
                    width:          "20%", 
                    intervalUnit:   Timeline.DateTime.YEAR,
                    intervalPixels: 120,
                    eventSource:    eventSource,
                    date:           d
                    
                })
            ];
            bandInfos[1].syncWith = 0;
            bandInfos[1].highlight = true;
            tl = Timeline.create(document.getElementById("tl"),
bandInfos, Timeline.HORIZONTAL);
            tl.loadXML("http://www.foo.com/file.xml";, function(xml, url)
{
                eventSource.loadXML(xml, url);
            });

What has happened to the message handling in this list?

I now see lots of unreadable messages where the returns are not being
handled properly. There is one long block of text with weird block
characters instead of returns.
