[support] timeline

Hi i am using drupal 5 and installed the timeline module. I understand it comes with a standard view timeline/nodes which should show all published nodes on a timeline view, but when I access it, it is empty. maybe related is the issue that the admin dropdown menu is not working, there is just a black bar at the top, but showing nothing and nothing dropping down. A javascript issue? would be glad for any help where to look best armin
