Greetings,
Sorry in advance for the potentially dumb question ... however, if
anyone could point me in the direction of a solution, I'd be more than
grateful.
I have implemented a local deployment of timeplot behind an Apache
server (which works) and now am attempting to overlay timeline events.
I'm passing a very simple example (a modified "example1.xml" from the
docs, reproduced below). It fails w/ the beautifully-cryptic "Error
handling onReadyStateChange".
Using a series of alert statements, I find this info in the response
object:
xmlhttp.getResponseHeader("Content-Type") : application/xml
responseXML : [object XMLDocument]
status : 200
... and the error caught is "event.getTime is not a function".
So we evidently don't have the xml DOM object expected because we're
not parsing out the events properly (or so I'm thinking).
I've begun parsing the rest of the responseXML object, and am finding
about what I'd expect - a nested series of Text and Element nodes -
but truthfully, I'm not sure what the parse tree needs to look like.
I expect I'm missing something as big as a 2x4 while looking for
sawdust - and if anyone could point it out, I'd be very grateful.
Best Regards
- Pat
