Mike - Load a screen that has the calendar selector on it (like Edit Contact) and do "view source" from your browser. You should see a line like this near the top:

Code: [Select]

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://demo.civicrm.org/drupal/sites/all/modules/civicrm/js/calendar.js">

Copy the js file url into your browser location bar:
http://demo.civicrm.org/drupal/sites/all/modules/civicrm/js/calendar.js

... and see if that jscript file displays in your browser window. If not, then your Global Settings >> Resource URL is incorrect or perhaps you didn't get the complete codebase for some reason.

(Of course make sure you don't have Javascript disabled in your browser preferences :-) ).

Yes, the code <script type="text......  does appear near the top of the file.

Yes, copying the url:
http://mydomain.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/js/calendar.js

does display the jscript file in the browser so resource url setting must be ok.

what are the other possibilities to check for?

I am also get the message "done but with errors on the page" in the browser for all civicrm pages.
the details of the error are: syntax error Line 2, Char 1
I assume this is line 2 char 1 corresponds to line 2 char 1 of "view source"
in which case there is an error with the doc type code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
  "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

Am I on the right track here?

thanks for your help

Mike

edit: The doc type code above is identical to the other drupal pages which have no errors, so I guess I'm on the wrong track

You'll need to get a Jscript debugging tool for your browser. Using Firefox - I recommend the Web Developer plugin - which will show you exactly the line in the jscript that is throwing the error.

Thanks Dave,

I did as you suggested and learnt a lot in the process.

I turns out my files were either incomplete or corrupted from the last upgrade. I upgraded to 1.7.9821 and made sure I untared on the server rather than upload the whole civicrm directory which was the stupid mistake I made last time.

Now ALL my problems are fixed. (for now)

Thanks again,
Mike
