Thanks for the response.
Unfortunately, I can't give a link in, but I suspect that the problems
are probably caused by the hack I've instituted to get the APIs loaded.
Since I don't have access to the <head> element through the CMS I work
with, the scripts are loading using the following code in the body.
<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload = addAPI();
function addAPI() {
var APIscript = function() {
var script = document.createElement("script");
script.type = "text/javascript";
script.language = "JavaScript";
script.src =
'http://simile.mit.edu/timeline/api/timeline-api.js';
document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(script);
}
var APIdata = function() {
var script = document.createElement("script");
script.type = "text/javascript";
script.language = "JavaScript";
script.src = 'http://www.foo.com/config.js';
document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(script);
}
var CSSlink = function() {
var link = document.createElement("link");
link.type = "text/css"
link.rel = "StyleSheet"
link.href = "http://www.foo.com/style.css";
document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(link);
}
APIscript();
APIdata();
CSSlink();
setTimeout("onLoad()", 2000);
}
</script>

Ben,
Could you give us a URL to your web page to debug this problem? I can't
think of any reason for the error just looking at the code you already
included.
