The problem is you are loading the third-party dropdown.js file before your
timeline-api.js.
There is something in there that conflicts with the way timeline-api.js loads
the Timeline code.
Looking at the dropdown.js code, it's pretty archaic, and not representative of
current Javascript coding practice (e.g. it pollutes the global namespace, and
contains statements that execute directly and manipulate the document object.)
The problem is that dropdown.js contains a statement that executes immediately,
attempting to alter the DOM:
if (ie4||ns6)
document.write('<div id="dropmenudiv"
style="visibility:hidden;width:'+menuwidth+';background-color:'+menubgcolor+'"
onMouseover="clearhidemenu()" onMouseout="dynamichide(event)"></div>')
I'd recommend ditching the dropdown.js code and using something more modern.
If you move the <script src="dropdown.js"> to load AFTER the call to load
timeline-api.js, then I *think* it should load okay.
Also, I'd recommend changing charset to utf-8, unless you have a
Windows-specific requirement for something in your website (though I can't
imagine what it could be).
