Javascript not loading XML?
Code:
<body onload="onLoad();" onresize="onResize();">
     <div id="my-timeline" style="height: 150px; border: 1px solid #aaa"></div>
		<noscript>
			This page uses Javascript to show you a Timeline. Please enable Javascript in your browser to see the full page. Thank you.
		</noscript>
        
        <script>
			var tl;
			 function onLoad() {
			   var eventSource = new Timeline.DefaultEventSource();
			   var bandInfos = [
				 Timeline.createBandInfo({
					 eventSource:    eventSource,
					 date:           "Jun 28 2006 00:00:00 GMT",
					 width:          "70%", 
					 intervalUnit:   Timeline.DateTime.MONTH, 
					 intervalPixels: 100
				 }),
				 Timeline.createBandInfo({
					 eventSource:    eventSource,
					 date:           "Jun 28 2006 00:00:00 GMT",
					 width:          "30%", 
					 intervalUnit:   Timeline.DateTime.YEAR, 
					 intervalPixels: 200
				 })
			   ];
			   bandInfos[1].syncWith = 0;
			   bandInfos[1].highlight = true;
			   
			   tl = Timeline.create(document.getElementById("my-timeline"), bandInfos);
			   Timeline.loadXML("example1.xml", function(xml, url) { eventSource.loadXML(xml, url); });
			 }
			
			 var resizeTimerID = null;
			 function onResize() {
				 if (resizeTimerID == null) {
					 resizeTimerID = window.setTimeout(function() {
						 resizeTimerID = null;
						 tl.layout();
					 }, 500);
				 }
			 }
		</script>
</body>


I'm working from here: http://simile-widgets.org/wiki/Timeline_GettingStarted


When I preview this in Chrome, it asks if I want to translate it because it's in Icelandic... I was like...okay...so I hit yes. That fails, however, and asks if I'd like to try again...

The info in the XML file isn't being loaded either. All I see is a timeline that I can at least scroll through. I'm attempting to test with the exact same file provided before I strike out on my own so I'm not sure what went wrong.

I saved my HTML file in the same folder as the example1.xml file to be sure that it was viewable. Do I need to upload this on a server to test with XML or did I blatantly screw up somewhere?

Have you correctly attached the Timelines API?

Code:
<script src="http://api.simile-widgets.org/timeline/2.3.1/timeline-api.js?bundle=true" type="text/javascript"></script>

Are there error messages in your browsers' console?

Have you tried it in different browsers?

Is your XML correctly formed?

Try creating another shortcut to Chrome and add the following to the command-line:

--allow-file-access-from-files

Should it be okay when the site goes live? I just want to be sure certain users won't be experiencing browser issues.

Should be. The setting I mentioned is only necessary when testing locally.

Now that I know it's working, I'm having an issue with Joomla in particular...

All we see when we upload this stuff is an empty box. We put the XML in the same location as the HTML, we took out the onload part because Joomla seems to swallow it up, and we looked up how to use this part:

Code:
<script src="http://api.simile-widgets.org/timeline/2.3.1/timeline-api.js?bundle=true" type="text/javascript"></script>


...in Joomla speak but it's still just a blank box. We used this format:

Code:
<source lang="php">
$doc =& JFactory::getDocument();
$doc->addScript( “http://www.example.com/js/myscript.js” );
</source>



So now we're looking at plugins instead but still...is this just not usable in Joomla or am I missing something obvious?

I don't touch Joomla. You might be better of posting on a Joomla forum.
