One thing you might do is look at exhibit (http://simile-widgets.org/exhibit) which wraps timeline and reads json.

Hi all, firstly let me congratulate with Smile for the Timeline
widget, think it's great!

I have a site on where I'm implementing the timeline but I need to use
a json service as data source. How do I do it?
I'm not great at javascript so I couldn't find a way to store the
entire Json output (which is correcly formatted accordingly) in a
global variable.

That's what I've tried but I'm stuck on how to store in the variable
the entire output and not just one entry:

|var  timeline_data;//at global scope
$.ajax({
         type:  'GET',
         url:  '/timeline/json_output.json',
         dataType:  'json',
         timeout:  10000,
         crossDomain:  true,
         success:  function(result)  {
             timeline_data=  result;
         }
});
|

Now I don't know how to use the variable timeline_data. Think it's an
array object. The following code doesn't work (of course):

eventSource1.loadJSON(timeline_data,url);

So I don't know how to proceed further. Any help much appreciated.

Thanks in advance
