Thanks Michael. "tl" was in fact out of scope from IE's
perspective.
(Odd that chrome and ff did not complain...)
..now to get the lower band to display from the second event source...
again, this works in ff and chrome but not IE.
the first (top) band loads just fine (and I get no errors about tl,
thanks to you..), but the data does not make it into
the band for some reason.(I use the IE Developer toolbar to check out
the contents of various elements) All that ends
up in the lower band is a single timeline-event-label with a #text
element containing the letter "A". Following is a snippit
which I use to clear the original events, then stream in the new
events from the cgi script which runs the query and generates
the XML. I would appreciate it if you could take a quick glance and
let me know if there is something I am doing wrong. The
bands do load and display fine in other browsers, so I am fairly
certain that it is not the XML. If I switch the band sources, again
the top band will load and display fine, but the bottom band does not
get anything other than that single #text element.
Thanks again for the help with finding the scoping of the that tl
variable!
" Timeline.timelines[0]._bandInfos[0].eventSource.clear();
Timeline.timelines[0]._bandInfos[1].eventSource.clear();
if (r == "splocal_MOMwjwrpt_dept_downtime_detail") {
Timeline.timelines[0].showLoadingMessage();
tl.loadXML("../../../cgi-bin/dt.cgi?start_time=" + s +
"&end_time=" + e + "&phase=" + p + "&plant=" + l, function(xml, url)
{ eventSource.loadXML(xml, url); });
tl.loadXML("../../../cgi-bin/ot.cgi?start_time=" + a_s +
"&end_time=" + e + "&phase=" + p + "&plant=" + l, function(xml, url)
{ eventSource1.loadXML(xml, url); });
}"
