I created a timeline several days ago and used Firefox's firebug to help me debug my setup errors. I got it working fine on IE7 and firefox. I added more data to the xml file today and
changed the size of it - and now it won't work on IE7. Firebug does not show any errors. I get: Caught Exception [object error] on IE7. Did you guys change anything on the timeline.js?

If you paste the address of the xml into IE's address bar, IE will tell you what's wrong with the file.

Thank you very much. I fixed the xml problem - which caused the 'object
error' to go away. However, the timeline still is looking bad.

That's because there are many align="center" on your page and somehow the <div>s containing the labels on the time line inherit that setting, so that their text is all centered. You need to set style="text-align: left" on the time line's div.

Thank you very much - twice - first for the fix, and second for creating this nice utility.

Can this be closed from open status then?
