When I use jquery_update(jQuery 1.3.2), the fields don't update correctly. Filtered fields don't update unless I use the Preview button. Or, if I have multiple fields using dependent_fields, I enter a value in the controller field and the other fields won't update unless I change one of the others. Odd behaviour. However, without jquery_update I get better results.

Could you verify what version of jQuery you are testing/developing with?

Is it worthwhile to upgrade to 1.4.2? http://echodittolabs.org/blog/2010/08/drupal-6x-jquery-142-new-possibili...

Thanks!

A change was made in the ahah.js included in jquery_update that breaks the AHAH call. Upgrading to 1.4.2 would most likely not resolve the problem.

Take a look at the thread here for more details: http://drupal.org/node/806500

Summary of that post is for a simple fix, comment out line 121 in your jquery_update/replace/ahah.js file
Or you could apply one of the patches in that thread.

@smoothify - I noticed that you've been quite active in that jquery_update ahah.js thread. Perhaps adding some text to the dependent_fields information page about jquery_update incompatibility would help reduce many of the generic "this doesn't work" posts in the issue queue?

Thanks for you work here and with ahah.js!

Thats a good suggestion - thanks.

I have now added a comment on to the project page to this effect. There are also a number of other issues i'm looking to fix with this module shortly.
