I noted another issue where IE problems were noted in cases where timelines
worked in Firefox. I've had similar problems. Here's another: In IE, a
group of events with identical times don't all show up. They group by their
titles; if you have three different titles and six of each, you'll only see
three instances -- not 18. Another issue -- information between <event> and
</event> is not reliably showing up in IE -- but it's quite reliably
showing up in Firefox. Just now, in fact, I can't get a darned bit of it to
show when I click an event in IE, and I can't get it to NOT show up when I
do so in Firefox.
Other weirdnesses with IE7. Inexplicable.

One other question while I'm at it; is there a limit on the number of items
in a timeline? I'm getting an odd error about "v1" when I have a few
thousand items.

IE is a lot stricter in parsing Javascript than Firefox. That means you
should watch out for trailing commas in arrays and objects, e.g.,
[ 1, 2, 3, ]
{ name: "john", age: 26, }

My timeline allows viewing scores of thousands of events. I make this
possible by adding scroll listeners that load chunks as the user scrolls
into the past. Everything works fine in Firefox, Safari and Opera. But I
have inconsistent results in IE6 and IE7. Most of the time, some chunk is
causing a "Exception caught [Object error]", it's pretty random, but some
files seem more consistent than others, with the occasional "runtime error"
or whatnot. The chunks are lazily loaded via a scroll listener as static
JSON-encoded files that are generated offline as a batch (to prevent
overwhelming the database). It seems that the problem is not anything to do
with encoding, but has something to do with a threading issue or a
reentrance problem or some kind of race condition.

Oh, I also used the babel validator on the content. It says the content is
fine.
