I've been working on a site with a Timeplot at the top and a Timeline
at the bottom, which both load their events from the same source.  It
worked great in Firefox, but IE gave me an error and events didn't
load in either Timeline or Timeplot. (in case it's meaningful, the
error was: Caught exception: undefined  Details: 'documentElement' is
null or not an object)

I've decided to change from pointing at the simile.mit.edu site to
hosting a copy of the libraries locally, in the hopes that getting a
newer version would alleviate my IE problems and would help encourage
my keeping up with and contributing to the development of these
tools.  I downloaded the zipfile with current Timeline in it and
unzipped it into my project's directory.  I had already copied all of
the Timeplot files from the MIT site for a version of my site intended
to work in island mode, and I didn't see a zipfile for the current
version of Timeplot, so I thought the old version should suffice for a
first test. (The island mode was a hit, but still suffered the IE
problem)

Unfortunately I can't get my site to work with the local versions.  I
followed the instructions in Timeline's README file and the
documentation at the top of timeline-api.js but neither the Timeline
or the Timeplot now load, in either FF or in IE.  In FF, Firebug tells
me: "Timeplot is not defined
http://www.rsma.frb.gov/eim/timeline/source/timeplot/timeplot-bundle.js
Line 9" (and IE's console is giving me the same error message - and
that's the line where Timeplot.create is defined, if I'm not mistaken)
and at first I thought at first that I had missed some Timeplot files,
but my locally-hosted version of Timeplot had worked with the locally-
hosted previous version of Timeline in my island-mode tests...

Is there something I need to download outside of the Timeline zipfile
to get the current version of Timeline working?  Or perhaps have I set
Timeline's variables wrong?  Here's what I've got:

<script>
  Timeline_ajax_url="http://internal_site/my_project/source/timeline/
src/ajax/api/simile-ajax-api.js";
  Timeline_urlPrefix='http://internal_site/my_project/source/timeline/
src/webapp/api/';
  Timeline_parameters='bundle=true';
</script>
<script src="http://internal_site/my_project/source/timeline/src/
webapp/api/timeline-api.js"
  type="text/javascript">
</script>
<script src="http://internal_site/my_project/source/timeplot/timeplot-
bundle.js"
       type="text/javascript"></script>

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks very much,

Julian
