If you click an element twice in a row, the second click deselects the 
element, thus the selection array is empty.  Index 0 of an empty array is 
undefined.  You should test the length of the array before attempting to 
access its contents:

function timeLineSelected(){
    var selection = chartTimeLine.getSelection();
    if (selection.length) {
     alert(selection[0].row);
    }
}
