Hi, The code you attached is working grate under IE6 and FF2 using the jfk.xml.
Your <div id="tl" element was incomplete, it should end with width:500px;"> </div> or width:500px;"/> but other then that it worked right out of the box. Maybe it's a problem in your xml definitions. Can you attach that as well.

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> <br/><br/> <div id="tl" class="timeline-default" style="height: 300px; width: 500px; </div> -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Huynh Sent: Friday, March 14, 2008 8:26 AM To: General List Subject: Re: Timeline IE6 problems with Timeline.DateTime.MONTH 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.
