The errors are in the function timelineData(semanticObject, semanticObjectType). The last record is the JSON file does have all of the properties for an event.

The original for loop

for (var i in hcalendars1)

is executing one too many times so the JSON data file does not build correctly.

I made two changes to the timelineData function.

The first on is the for loop, which should look like this:

for (var i in hcalendars-1) {

and the second is for the variable event at the end of the function, before the
if statement used to add the last comma to the JSON file.
I added an if statement to prevent adding a null vevent.

if (event.length > 0)
{ events += event + dtEnd + title + description + link + color + “}” + “\r\n”;
zones += zone ;
zones2 += zone2 ;}

I’ll check the problems with the special characters.

Thanks for help, and yes I understand your description.

None of the timeline scripts works yet – I have testet hCalendar page
http://mangospot.dk/Steder/156/FatterEskil.aspx and http://www.microformats.dk/2007/07/03/næsten-midt-i-en-jazztid/

However the Exhibit action works but the special danish charcters æ,ø,å Æ,Ø,Å does not show up correct
see screendump http://www.microformats.dk/teknik/hcard/testscript.jpg
I have look at the JSON output fx “address: ” Nytorv 3 K?benhavn K 1450 “,

but following way must be the correct way to do it
“address: ” Nytorv 3 K\u00F8benhavn K 1450 “,

so the ø in København shows up correctly?

hope you understood my description above

Can you provide the URL for the web page with hcalendar microformats you we’re trying to view with timeline so I can fix the bug?

Thanks

From a quick read-through, the JS seems to reach out across the network to send data to and fetch the rendered timeline from a web service offered by MITRE. Is there any way to locally cache that functionality (which is probably fairly static) to reduce bandwidth and potentially improve speed?

I am using danish Firefox 2.0.0.6 on a danish Windows XP SP2.

the idea looks very cool
