Unable to fetch the preview of a node [#1029832]

I want to give to the users a preview of a node when they add or modify some data.
In particular I have 2 types of nodes:

prenotazione, that means reservation
calendario, that are calendars where users add reservations

When a user create a new reservation, he has to select a calendar and in the meantime he should see the correspondent calendar availability without reloading the page everytime the user change his choice.

To do this, I downloaded dependent_fields and markup modules.
I created a node_reference field in the reservation type that addresses to the calendars,
I created also a markup field that should display in my mind the preview of the calendar node selected; because of a static content is required by markup field I put in there asilly word.

I tried to setup the dependency between these two fields, but every time I select a different calendar the markup field gives me the silly word instead of a string with the ID of the node that the user has selected.

I attach a screencast about this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f67yWFBNa5M

Thnx,
Fair

Thanks for providing the screencast.

It looks like you are using Markup field version 1.0-alpha1?

To use it successfully with AHAH dependent fields, you need to use the current 1.x-dev version which has a new callback specifically for this module.

I have committed a fix today in the markup module which won't be in the current release until about 12am GMT, but the Dec 19th version should still work reasonably well for you.

Actually, I have just committed some fixes to AHAH Dependent Field module relevant to both the markup and markup_view modules today.

I have now rolled the first alpha release, so as well as downloading the dev release of markup, you should try to download alpha1 of dependent_fields.
