1. I've followed <b>Larry Kluger's</b> help to <b>rixta</b> and
<b>Carter</b> in the archives, which tells me that I probably need to
do something with some sort of javascript server. (I normally program
in C/C++ and python: javascript is <i>terra nova</i> to me, although I
have done some html programming a decade or so ago.) Basically I've
created a file, mytimeline.html, consisting of the following from the
first four steps of the GettingStarted howto.
<blockquote>
<html>
<head>
<span style="background:#FFFFE0">
<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" type="text/javascript"></script>
</span>
<script>
var tl;
function onLoad() {
var bandInfos = [
. . . <SNIP> . . .
];
bandInfos[1].syncWith = 0;
bandInfos[1].highlight = true;
tl = Timeline.create(document.getElementById("my-timeline"),
bandInfos);
}
var resizeTimerID = null;
function onResize() {
. . . <SNIP> . . .
}
</script>
</head>
<body onlead="onLoad();" onresize="onResize();">
<div id="my-timeline" style="height: 150px; border: 1px solid #aaa"></
div>
</body>
</html>
</blockquote>
2. When I access the file from my browser:
$ konqueror mytimeline.html
All I get is the box which is produce (I believe) by the <div > tag.
(Same thing when using
firefox and opera browsers.)
3. My guess is that there is needed some sort of "javascript server"
which must be called correctly. When I download and unzip the source
file to /usr/local/src/timeline_pre2.3.0/ , change to that directory,
and execute the ./run script (which runs java -jar lib/start.jar
jetty.xml) and then point my browser (any of them) to "http://
127.0.0.1:9999/timeline/", the example index shows up nicely---even
when the ./run script is in background.
4. So . . . what steps need to be taken so that I can get my
local .html file with javascript to work when my browser looks at
it? Apparently jetty has to be told where to look for the file; if
so, how's that done?
5. Once my html file and timeline are debugged, the file'll be placed
on a remote webserver--by someone else: an expert, I hope. But
that's in the future . . . . First things first.
