The first time I tried it, nothing happened. I clicked on the globe because I thought maybe you had to drag it, and couldn't un-drag so it kept jiggling around without doing anything. No red dots came up.

I glanced at the comments to see if anyone said "It's broken" and nobody did, so I went back and tried hitting the play button but nothing happened, same result.

Then I read the first comment on here and went back one more time and it worked; however, this time when it spins and I click on a red dot nothing happens and I get ' error parsing d="" ' in the console, with the line being /quakes/:1, which is just the <html> tag.

Hmm, sorry you're having trouble with it. The 'error parsing d=""' is an issue with the SVG parser within your browser, and shouldn't prevent it from rendering properly. I believe upgrading to the next version of d3.js will likely fix this.

It's possible that it's not properly loading the data for you, either due to latency or some browser restrictions. What are you running?

I'd like to debug if possible. I believe D3.js only fully works in Chrome, Safari, and Firefox (+ maybe Opera?).

I'm actually building a website in D3JS myself ( http://uscfstats.com/matches ) and the SVG and D3 work fine there, and I am using the latest version of Chrome.

Some D3.js code I wrote recently worked in Opera, so I think it should be fine there. I never did figure out how to make D3.js work in IE.

The error keeps replicating itself as long as the globe is moving.
