Hi Emma, Several issues:
1) The documentation on the wiki is not so good, I apologize for that. Since you are not adding the call to timeline-api in the head section of you file, you need to explicitly say where the Timeline sw lives. Fix: <script> Timeline_urlPrefix = "http://static.simile.mit.edu/timeline/api-2.0/";; </script> <script src="http://static.simile.mit.edu/timeline/api-2.0/timeline- api.js?bundle=false" type="text/javascript"></script> (also, the above uses the 2.0 version which is better.) 2) You are calling bandInfos[1].eventPainter.setLayout(bandInfos[0].eventPainter.getLayout()); Not sure what's happening there, but I needed to comment it out to get your timeline working 3) I am not sure if the "Same origin policy" will allow your html file to retrieve an xml data file that is one a different server. It may not. If you get a timeline with no data in it, that's probably the reason. See https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Same_origin_policy_for_JavaScript For my test of your file, I copied your xml file to my server. Here is the result: http://sandbox.kluger.com/examples/excavation_timeline.html 4) Your html file has a number of <body> elements, I do not think that is ok. 5) Since you probably can't change the body element of the Drupal template: To get your timeline going, just add onLoad(); after your Timeline js. Hope this helps, let us know how you get on.
