Description
Hi Wim,
first: thanks for the great HS module!
I just recognized a problem with Hierarchial Select in a View with AJAX enabled using the pager.
On the first page it works. On all further pages there is the message "You don't have Javascript enabled" - see attached screenshot.
I installed the current version of 6.x-3.x-dev and the current Views module. I tested the issue in a clean Drupal installation in Safari 4 and Firefox 3.5
Do you know where the problems comes from?
Best
Suidu

Odd. Seems that Views is not attaching Drupal behaviors? Moving to the Views issue queue to get feedback.

If hierarchical select uses the 'settings' javascript, then it is difficult to transmit these settings back to the page during ajax operations. (Note that the ajax system in Drupal 7 has more or less aleviated this, but in D6 this is still a problem).
Views *does* call behaviors in its ajax operations.

I see. HS indeed uses Drupal.settings. Thanks Merlin!

This will cost a fair amount of time and frustrated debugging sessions. Drupal's AHAH/AJAX support is too immature to accommodate for this properly.
I'll welcome your patches but I won't figure out a work-around in my free time.
