FYI, turns out something must have gotten corrupted during FTP of the SIMILE libraries to the new hosting company. After I took the entire set of libraries and copied them back up, everything is working as it should. Sorry for the false alarm! -Mark On Aug 17, 4:49 pm, mleden mle

Restrictions on hosting and Javascript?

2009-08-17 Thread mleden
Hi Folks, Has anyone encountered restrictions using Exhibit (or SIMILE in general) with specific hosting companies? I moved a working Exhibit to a new hosting company and it no longer renders. All of the SIMILE libraries are co-located at the hosting company, along with the HTML, JSON, etc.

Hi Eric, Just FYI, I use attributes named id in my JSON files without any (perceived) problem. That pitfall entry in the documentation is old (maybe outdated?) or perhaps someone can shed more light on the specifics of why NOT to include id in JSON. -Mark On Aug 12, 4:31 am, Eric

Hi Gabriel, I have implemented a today highlighter on the Timeline view. However, I used a decorator. I didn't even know about the instant highlight painter. If you're interested in how I did it, just let me know. May not be the best/most elegant solution but it works for me. -Mark On Aug

Hi Rahul, Sounds like this is a new Timeline you just created, right? I'm not aware of the citeline that you mention, but Timeline, by default, renders either a bar icon, a bullet icon or no icon at all depending on the data. As I recall, the following rules apply: 1. If the begin end are

Hi Feikje, If you are sure this is not related to the data, then it is most likely something to do with the references to the SIMILE libraries. I compared your head tag references to what I use. Yours: script src=http://localhost:8080/exhibit/api/exhibit-api.js; type=text/javascript/script
