Hi!

We just lauched a community for boy scouts and girl guides in germany
that we have been working on voluntary for over a year. The Simile
timeline is the perfect fit for it since a personal timeline of all
your scouting-activity nicly visualized is just great and something
unique. Thanks a lot for Simile Timeline!

Unfortunatelly our timeline implimentation doesnt work in IE.

I hope someone can help us, here are some issues:

**Live Code:**
Go to http://stayscout.de/
Login with
[email protected]
Passwort: simile
This is a account that I created for you for testing purpose.

On the dashboard you see the timeline as first element in Firefox
(Safari and Chrome) but not in IE.
We have no JS Issues in any of the other browsers but IE and the
problem is with IE 7 and IE 8.

**What we tried:**
- No CSS: We deleted all CSS and tested the timeline in IE 8 but the
error remains the same (looks fine in FF, doesnt show up in IE).
- No JS: We also deleted all JS but jQuery 1.4 -- same result

So it cannot be any CSS- or JS-Plugin-Issue

**JS-Error 1:**
This is the first error we get when calling the version that is online
right now:
Benutzer-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1;
Trident/4.0; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR
3.0.4506.2152; .NET CLR 3.5.30729)

Error: unknown/nonvalid argument.
Zeile: 1581
Zeichen: 7
Code: 0
URI: http://10.211.55.2:3000/simile-timeline/timeline-bundle.js

The line that throws the error is "if(A)
{this._highlightDiv.style.left=I+"px";"

By the way: The timeline-DIVs are there as far as I can tell but they
are not displayed and not functional.

**Change 1:**
We discovered a drupal-discussion that suggested adding a timeout
http://drupal.org/node/79472

So I changed our Timeline-Call to
          setTimeout(function() {
          timeline('#{dom_id}',#{data});
          }, 500);
Firefox: all fine
IE: Tells me there is an access-denied error in jquery.js. wtf?

**Change 2:**
So I removed the stayscout_app.js from the app.
Firefox: still fine
IE: no jquery error anymore

No to something more interesting:
**Change 3:**
I removed "bandInfos[1].syncWith = 0;" from our 
www.stayscout.de/javascripts/simile-vita.js

FF: Shows timeline without band-sync
IE: Shows something for the first time but only the lower band. But I
can move that around.

But that is all I can do with that.

**Change 4:**
I added the bandinfo again and removed the "bandInfos[1].highlight =
true;"
FF: works fine
IE: Shows less than with change 3 but throws an error whenever I try
to move the gray-box (no band infos display)

Meldung: unknown/nonvalid argument
Zeile: 297, Zeichen: 35, Code: 0
URI: http://10.211.55.2:3000/simile-timeline/timeline-bundle.js

**Change 5: **
We did some more testing by adding alerts to the simile-vita-file to
see where the error is. From this test the problem should probably
come from timeline.layout(); -- but I am not shure about that and what
to make with it.

So I really hope someone can point us in the right directions here and
help us solve this problem!

Btw: We use json to get the timeline-data in the timeline. You find
the json-string in the header of the page with all the data.

Thanks and regards
Tobias
