*Head slaps* Alright, I added the flash div and that bit works now. I
also removed the P() from the form and validation appears to work as
well. This all however is only working when calling the buildpage
controller function directly. When the function is brought in via
ajax, the calendar widget still doesn't work, and the form doesn't
appear to do anything other than refreshing the entire page. Any
ideas?
