Hi,
     On exhibit/google mapping -

    Although my mock sears houses exhibit works well on IE 7.0,the program
not open readily on non-updated IE browsers of 5.0, possibly 6.0.  A
message appears on screen "working" but the file does not open for at
least two minutes. (I have not waited longer than this.)   Is there a way
to modify a program to accommodate non-updated browsers?  Mock Example
located at http://www.albany.edu/~cr228726/houses3.html
  

I used a virtual machine with XP SP2 and IE6 and was able to load your exhibit just fine. Please see this inline screenshot:

     On timeline icons -
          A mock sample timeline can be found at
              http://www.albany.edu/~cr228726/wppurdytimeline2.html

          timeline data can be found at:
              http://www.albany.edu/~cr228726/wppurdytldata.xml

    Currently my data includes icon "colored-dots" for almost data
points and extended periods of time.  When the timeline is triggered to
print a colored bar segment ("color") for a period of time (isduration =
true), the colored bar prints but not the icon "colored-dot."

    When isduration is false or not stated, the icon "colored-dot" prints
along with the default light blue bar segment.

    When there isn't an icon "colored-dot," the standard blue dot prints
along with a light blue bar segment.

    Is there a way to get a nondefault colored icon to print with a
nondefault colored bar when isduration is true?
  

No, Timeline doesn't display any icon when isDuration is true. It's just the way it's implemented right now. You'd need some Javascript coding if you want to change its default behavior.
