Hi James,

I believe that the problem is in your xml file: one (or more) of the events 
after 1831 is a problem.

Suggested fix:
Change your xml file.
First delete all events after 1831. Run your html file and everything 
(hopefully) will work perfectly.

Then start adding back in the events. Add them gack half (of the remainder) at 
a time: add half of the events that are after 1831. If everything still works 
then you know the problem is in the last part of the xml file (the last 25% or 
so of the file). If the file stops working, then you know that the problem is 
somewhere in the set of events that you had just added back in.

Use the technique to narrow down to the one or more events that are causing the 
problem.

I'd like to know what the actual event is that is causing the problem: I may be 
able to make the Timeline more forgiving of the problem in the future. 
(Just having it crash is a bit boring.)

In the worst, case: some tips about the demo:
1) YOU should control the computer
2) Just demo the parts of the Timeline that already work. It is already quite 
impressive compared to nothing. Tell people that it is still in beta, that it 
isn;t ready yet for wider use.

Good luck!

Regards,

Larry

Subject: Presenting today Need Quick Help: console' is undefined error


Hi All,
We've just got our British Columbia Metis (canadian aboriginal group)
timeline completed with lots of data. I've got to show it today. Any
thoughts on why suddenly getting this error in the API?  I've turned
on only one band, since I thought that might be the issue.

What happens is that when you slide the band towards the 1820's
suddenly you get the error and the data disappears.  If you slide the
band slower, it occurs further into the 1820's or 30's. If you close
the error, the data suddenly reappears somewhere in the 1870's and you
can slowly pan back until in the offending time period, the error
occurs again.

Line: 3794
Error: 'console' is undefined
