That's a bug in the code; it shouldn't be loading from simile.mit.edu at all (deprecated). We'll put fixing it on our (long) todo list but would love for someone to submit a patch.

Thanks for your suggestion, David!

Indeed, I've tried it --- but unfortunately it doesn't make a difference.

However, I believe the crux is that timeline-api.js attempts to load the following file:
http://static.simile.mit.edu/ajax/api-2.2.0/simile-ajax-api.js

Hmm... Perhaps the problem can be circumvented by the use of a local copy of the above file, and the use of Timeline_ajax_url... I'll give it a try.

    Perhaps if you use secure http instead:

    Hi,

    I'm trying to get a SIMILE timeline to function on Google Sites.
    Which has included writing a Google Gadget.

    I've made some headway in making it work, but now I've got stuck.

    It works in Firefox and Opera, but not in Chrome or Internet
    Explorer.

    Currently inclined to believe the problem has to do with fetching
    of insecure content, as Chrome puts it. At least, it throws that
    error. More specifically, Chrome refuses to load
    http://api.simile-widgets.org/timeline/2.3.1/timeline-api.js?bundle=true

    How can I work around this problem?

    I've found some references that the problem might lie in bad
    coding, too --- commas where there shouldn't be any, and the like
    ---, but I haven't managed to find any such errors. (That doesn't
    mean they're not there. I just can't find them.)

    The source of the Google Gadget can be found here:
    
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7999671/bugreports/SIMILE/SIMILEtimeline_wrapper.xml
    
<https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7999671/bugreports/SIMILE/SIMILEtimeline_wrapper.xml>

    The expected result (as shown by firefox, opera) can be viewed here:
    http://j.mp/timeline-hinduism-overview
    <http://j.mp/timeline-hinduism-overview>

    The JS I'm feeding to SIMILE can be found here:
    http://j.mp/timeline-hinduism-overview-js
    <http://j.mp/timeline-hinduism-overview-js>


    Any help would be much appreciated!

    As you can probably tell by the source contained in the files
    above, javascript is not my strong side.

    Kind regards,
    Kristian
