I know it is not coming from SIMILE's code--I can get the Exhibit/ Timeline to function perfectly well as a stand alone webpage. I recognize that it is a problem specific to Squarespace's architecture which has some restrictions on the kind of scripting it allows, etc.
Specifically, placing that link command to retrieve the JSON data from the converted Google spreadsheet is what is prompting the error in their interface. So with that being said, I am wondering if there is a work around. That is: 1. Can the link command be placed somewhere other than the header? 2. Is there a way to convert the data on the Google spreadsheet into a static JSON file that I can just upload? (I've tried a sample timeline and it works with a static JSON file hosted on my own domain rather than the external one from Google). Toward this end, I've tried several conversion methods found online to convert the spreadsheet into a JSON-formatted file and they are all coming out with syntax errors as it seems the way my data was entered in the spreadsheet for a JSON broadcast is somewhat different (in terms of use of braces and quotes, etc.) Thanks for your earlier response. Hopefully you can shed some additional light on this.
