I'm having a similar problem. Timeline: http://tom.raresteeds.com/genealogy/timelines/MorrisseyElaine.tl.htm
Displays fine in Chrome and Firefox, but gets the same sort of non- descriptive js debugger error when run using IE (v8) and does no timeline display. I've checked my timeline js input files and there are no dangling commas as noted above. I ran jslint on them just to be sure and all it found was a lack of semi-colon to terminate the whole expression (which has no impact on the matter either way). Thanks for any insight. I'm using Timeline version 2.3.0 (with Ajax lib 2.2.0) On Jun 15, 6:21 pm, chris thatcher <[email protected]> wrote: > nice find, the dreaded > 'IE-6/7-comma-that-breaks-everything-and-gives-you-a-meaningless-error'.http://www.jslint.com/;) > > > > > > > > > You have an unnecessary comma after the '}', i.e. '},'.
