more likely than a content-type problem is that you are running into
security restrictions. browsers are very picky about javascript loading
content from "other sites" than the original page, and local files are
always considered "other sites" even when your page is also a local file.

I'm trying to get a timeline working, using the code from

It works perfectly when I serve it via HTTP
<http://zamphatta.com/something.htm>, but when I use it as local files
on my computer, it only shows a blank timeline in Chrome. Firefox
can't even seem to load the page at all. Why? I'm not a Javascript
expert, so I'm a bit lost as to why this could be problematic.
My only guess is that when grabbing a local XML file, there's no
content-type so the script gets confused or something, but that would
be pretty major bug that I'm thinking would've been found by now. Even
if that's the issue though, I don't know how to fix that in JS. I
thought I could try using JSON, but I couldn't find how to 'import'
JSON data on the Wiki.
(I'm using Google Chrome & Firefox, on Ubuntu. I don't need this to
work in IE)
