Hi Ian,

I used the IE7 debugging environment to discover the problem:
The  Date/Time parser in IE 7 can't understand your date time format,
eg
09 01 2007 00:00:00 GMT-0500

So all of your events (on IE) are ending up with null dates and thus
don't show on the Timeline.

I suggest that you try putting slashes in between.

Or use the suggested format from the docs:
"May 20 1961 00:00:00 GMT-0600"  (see the jfk example xml file)

A better alternative is to use iso8601 style dates
Invoke the iso8601 parser by changing the <data> element to be
<data date-time-format="iso8601">

I've updated the wiki with details on how to use this format:

Thanks for the interesting problem report.

Larry
ps. Remember to switch to the bundled Javascript files on your own
server once you have everything working--it will be much faster than
pulling from the code repository.
