David, Things will be a lot easier for you if you have some kind of developer interface like firebug for firefox, or the javascript console for Chrome. In such an interface you will see something like the following when you try to open your page:
1. GET http://api.simile-widgets.org/ajax/2.2.1/scripts/timeline.js 404 (Not Found) simile-ajax-api.js:53<http://api.simile-widgets.org/ajax/2.2.1/simile-ajax-api.js> 1. GET http://api.simile-widgets.org/ajax/2.2.1/scripts/band.js 404 (Not Found) simile-ajax-api.js:53<http://api.simile-widgets.org/ajax/2.2.1/simile-ajax-api.js> 1. GET http://api.simile-widgets.org/ajax/2.2.1/scripts/themes.js 404 (Not Found) simile-ajax-api.js:53<http://api.simile-widgets.org/ajax/2.2.1/simile-ajax-api.js> 1. GET http://api.simile-widgets.org/ajax/2.2.1/scripts/ethers.js 404 (Not Found) simile-ajax-api.js:53<http://api.simile-widgets.org/ajax/2.2.1/simile-ajax-api.js> etc. You can see that the browser is trying to download the timeline software from the wrong address. Figure out what the right address should be, and change your Timeline_urlPrefix variable accordingly. It may be that you don't need to set this prefix explicitly at all. Start by trying to do without it. best wishes, Jon On Friday, May 17, 2013 6:16:14 PM UTC-7, David Van Fleet wrote: > > what is the correct line? > > > > On Fri, May 17, 2013 at 5:10 PM, jjon <[email protected] <javascript:>>wrote: > >> David, >> >> You've got this line wrong: >> >> Timeline_urlPrefix = "http://api.simile-widgets.org/ajax/2.2.1/";;; >> >> The browser is trying to load the scripts from the wrong address. >> >> On Friday, May 17, 2013 10:35:09 AM UTC-7, David Van Fleet wrote: >>> >>> this does not load the XML file >>> http://people.cti.asu.edu/**vanfleet/history/time-test-**2013.htm<http://people.cti.asu.edu/vanfleet/history/time-test-2013.htm> >>> >>> can anyone see what I've done wrong? >>> >>> -- >> You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups >> "SIMILE Widgets" group. >> To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an >> email to [email protected] <javascript:>. >> To post to this group, send email to [email protected]<javascript:> >> . >> Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/simile-widgets?hl=en. >> For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out. >> >> >> > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "SIMILE Widgets" group.
