Hi GChiu,
It is possible to include the data in the html file.
Just include it, then
eventSource.loadJSON(timeline_data, json_url); // load the events
where timeline_data is the event data.
json_url is the base url that should be used with the icon and wiki url
references, if any, in the data.
But instead, I suggest that you simply point the Timeline library to a dynamic
url that will return the json data.
In other words,
tl.loadJSON("data.js?"+ (new Date().getTime()), function(json, url)
{
eventSource.loadJSON(json, url);
where tl is the timeline object
and data.js is your dynamic program (not a file) that returns the json event
data.
The (new Date().getTime()) part appends an ever-changing number to the url to
ensure that the results will not be cached anywhere along the way.
The benefit is that it will enable you to separate the static html page and its
use of Timeline from the dynamic data set.
Regards,
Larry

Subject: Newbie json question
I see that the examples show the data file as a separate file which is
loaded by the main html file.
Can the data be embedded instead into the html file ( eg. for exhibit
and timeline ) ? I wish to do this as all my html is being generated
dynamically so I don't want any static data files lying around on the
webserver.
