[PHPiCalendar-DEV] Event popup patch

[Patrick B. <pb...@se...>]

Hi all,

Since I've submitted my first patch to the project, I suppose I'll stop 
lurking on the dev list ;).

The patch is meant to deal with a bug we've noticed in event popups. We 
have some users entering a lot of text in event descriptions. The 
following calendar is where we first noticed the bug (be warned, this 
page is huge):

http://pcowles.sherpasuite.com/Instant_Coffee_-_Toronto/month.php?cal=calendar&getdate=20031118

(try clicking on the WAVELENGTH event on 29 Nov.)

The current popup mechanism won't work in IE for events with a long 
description (I've tested IE 6 and 5 on XP and 2000).

The patch that I submitted creates a hidden form in header.inc.php that 
is populated when an event link is clicked. The form is submitted via 
POST, so it should be able to handle "Moby Dick", if people decide to 
enter it as a description :). The link for the patch is:

Thanks for a great project, folks. Keep up the great work!
