AS the tittle say.

After configuring the timeline it shows up perfectly in remote and local mode on google chrome and ie7 for instance but not on firefox, flock, k-meleon ... all gecko based browsers.

Activating firebug and looking at the console I see this error : uncaught exception: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: ; }

Since the timeline perfectly shows up in the aforementioned browsers on the simile website for instance here http://www.simile-widgets.org/timeline/ I don't thin it is an issue with the timeline widget per see as I thought first.

Could it be that the timeline module generates some JSON to pass the values/datas to the javascript plug-in and maybe produce some invalid JSON, like an "off by one" error on a closing bracket, for instance ? :)

Jscript engines tolerance would do the rest ...

Any simple way to see the formated data passed to the timeline code in its final encoding in JSON ?

Thanks a lot

Title: Timeline not showing up in Gecko based browser in local or remote mode + possible hint » Timeline not showing up in Mozilla Firefox + possible hint
Priority: Normal » Major

Mozilla Firefox has covered 28% market share of web browsers

so if Timeline is not working with it then it must be a major problem that we have to solve

You can check the data that is getting past to the timeline library when activating the debug mode. Or simply using firebug.

I have not had any problems on Firefox browsers. Please try to rebuild and report if there is an easy way to reproduce this error.

Not showing up at all -- even in preview -- in Firefox 3.6 or in Safari Version 5.0.5

Any tips on how to fix this?

Not showing in FF 10.0.2 neither.
Opera, IE & Chrome display timeline normally.

views 6.2
timeline 6.x-3.x-dev
xamanu`s libs

firebug gives following error i`m unable to solve:
uncaught exception: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: ; }

any idea on how to sort this out is much appreciated.
