Load XML event data in SIMILE Timeplot
===

I'm trying to build a SIMILE Timeplot exhibit for a social media research presentation, but am having trouble loading XML event data into the Timeplot. I made the Timeplot successfully when just entering the timegraph data, but when trying to add event markers from an XML file like some of SIMILE's examples have, the Timeplot breaks. I had this problem with the first data entry attempt and found different ASCII comma values were the culprits, so to start out on the events I simply copy and pasted their George Bush events file into my own. No luck, however. I then tried a json file instead, with similar breakage. I feel as though there must be something wrong with my Timeplot code, but as far as I can see it's the same as SIMILE's working example. Insight from anyone else would be much appreciated!


Here is the home page of where I'm hosting my files. Links to my Sample Timeplot and Events xml and json files are the problem files. Right click on the Sample Timeplot page for its source code. - http://sdcm.zzl.org

example I'm trying to emulate. add bush_events.xml to the address line to find their XML event data. - http://www.simile-widgets.org/timeplot/examples/bush/index.html
