Hi Larry, thanks for the response. The main problem I have is that the data in my xml file contains dates with BST as the timezone, i.e.
<event start="Apr 22 2009 11:10:00 BST" end="Apr 22 2009 11:14:00 BST" isDuration="true" color="blue" title="Test Job 1"> </event> Can the timeline api read this date format? Or do I have to add code to subtract an hour from each time component and change "BST" to "GMT" in order to get the xml to display? The xml displays fine when I simply change BST to GMT manually On Apr 12, 10:01 pm, [email protected] wrote: > Hi Jake, > > 1.
