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.

what is the correct line?

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

1. GET http://api.simile-widgets.org/ajax/2.2.1/scripts/band.js 404 (Not Found) simile-ajax-api.js:53

1. GET http://api.simile-widgets.org/ajax/2.2.1/scripts/themes.js 404 (Not Found) simile-ajax-api.js:53

1. GET http://api.simile-widgets.org/ajax/2.2.1/scripts/ethers.js 404 (Not Found) simile-ajax-api.js:53

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

Here, for example, is where the file timeline.js lives:
