Hi Feikje, If you are sure this is not related to the data, then it is most likely something to do with the references to the SIMILE libraries.
I compared your "head tag" references to what I use. Yours: <script src="http://localhost:8080/exhibit/api/exhibit-api.js"; type="text/javascript"></script> <script src="http://localhost:8080/exhibit/extensions/time/time- extension.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script src="http://localhost:8080/exhibit/extensions/map/map- extension.js"></script> <script src="http://localhost:8080/timeline/ajax/api/simile-ajax- api.js" type="text/javascript"></script> Mine: <script src="../simile-exhibit/exhibit-api.js" type="text/ javascript"></script> <script src="../simile-exhibit/extensions/time/time-extension.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script src="../simile-exhibit/extensions/calendar/calendar- extension.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script src="../simile-exhibit/extensions/timeplot/timeplot-api.js" type="text/javascript"></script> Notice that I don't have the reference to the "simile-ajax-api.js" library. If that does not provide the simple solution, next thing I would do is ensure that the "locally hosted libraries" are in order. Do this by running one of the simple Exhibit examples with references to the locally installed libraries. Then copy those references to your own Exhibit, assuming relative paths are all still valid.
