change state of date

[johannes]

Hi Chris

Your calender script seems to be excatly what I've searched for.
Yet I'm struggeling with the installation. By clicking on a certain date, the state doesn't change without reloading the page. The calendar is temporarily located on http://koba-arch.ch/holiday.
What could be the problem? Are there any special settings on the webserver requiered?
For any help I thank in advance.
Johannes

Hi there,
Thanks for the comments, I hope you can get this working

I have just checked your link and, as far as I can see, it appears to be working correctly in Firefox. However, there is a problem in IE7 which is due to a small error in the date links.
Find the code :

Code: Select all

<a href="javascript:void;" onclick="ajax_mod_state( ....

and replace with this:

Code: Select all

<a href="javascript:ajax_mod_state( ....

This is an error in my zipped version which I must update ASAP - sorry about this

See if changing this line solves your problem.

Hi Chris
Thanx for the quick reply.
Yes, I'm using IE7.
Well, the little change didn't have any effect. I also tried

Code: Select all

<a href="#" onClick="ajax_mod_state(...

with the same result.
When I click on the date/link I always get the same javascript error message:

system error:1072896658.

Now, the funny thing is that on your site http://www.cbolson.com/code/availability-calendar/ my browser hasn't any problem. Is there any difference in the code?

OK, I can now see the problem in your version.

A google check for this error comes up results that blame it on the charset.

I must admit that this is not something that I am hot on but it appears that your server or code is not using the uft-8 charset.

Can you try adding this line:

Code: Select all

header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8');

at the beginning of the update_cal.ajax.php file (directly after the opening php tag). This should force the output to be encoded lcorrectly.

Let me know if this works

Chris
edit:
also try adding this header aswell/instead of the other one I mentioned:

Code: Select all

header('Content-type: text/plain");

- I might be due to this.

Hi Chris

Yes, that's it:

Code: Select all

header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8');

Now, it's working fine! Thanks a lot!
