Well, exhibit just wraps the timeline api, so you may run into the same problem. But it is certainly easier to use.

Oh, I see. Thought that was a bit curious, too. :)

Do you know if I'd be better off trying to get exhibit work than continuing to work directly with the timeline api?

    That's a bug in the code; it shouldn't be loading from
simile.mit.edu <http://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
    <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.

        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
