Nina, it's most probably an XML encoding issue. Try this a dichotomy method
to locate the offending part of your XML:
- Remove the later half of your XML file. If it works, then the problem is
in the later half. Otherwise, the problem is in the first half.
- For the half that is problematic, remove its later half, ...

My timeline allows viewing scores of thousands of events. Chunks of events
are lazily loaded via a scroll listener as static JSON-encoded files that
are generated offline as a batch (to prevent overwhelming the database) 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. I have played with the content
numerous times, but my results are inconsistent. I have also checked the
content with the Babel validator: it says my content is fine. 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 either in Timeline or in IE itself.
