The event data is at http://www.bostonwhalerownersclub.com/timeline.xml. How to tell this? For a timeline, in the onload() function there will be a timeline like this: tl.loadXML("timeline.xml", function(xml, url) { eventSource.loadXML(xml, url); }); As in this case the timeline index HTML page runs from the domain root, the XML file will be in the same folder. If the script with the onload function isn't in the main HTML, investigate the pages external scripts (not any Timeline API ones but user coded ones. In this case )http://www.alexstrick.com/timeline/) the function onload is in /scripts/timebands.js but the code line is similar to the above indicating an events.xml on the root folder of the site. The onload function will also generally hold any Timeline layout customisations like timeline expansion/compression, highlighted areas, etc. I hope that helps. It should probably be worth noting that beyond looking at how the data is structured, if you wish to use the data elsewhere you should ask permission of the site's owner.
