well here I go again it is probobly a minor mistake that I am missing, however I am having issues getting the 'description' that I have entered into my database to show up inside the div when the 'details' button is clicked, to follow are each page of code allong with the names each is saved under, everything else works great its just displaying the content of the 'description' field in the database that fails.

Here is show_calendar.php:

I have a fealing that my issue is somewhere in the events.php or the show_details function, however I am simply not seeing anywhere that the issue should be cropping up, thanks.

removed

well for anyone that wants to see these are where I think that the problem is I just cant find it, in the show_calendar.php this function is one of the places I suspect here is that code

function show_details(theId)
{
    var deets = (theId.id);

    e1 = document.getElementById("overlay");
    e1.style.display = (e1.style.display == "block") ? "none" : "block";
    e1 = document.getElementById("events");
    e1.style.display = (e1.style.display == "block") ? "none" : "block";

    var hr = new XMLHttpRequest();
    var url = "events.php";
    var vars = "deets=" + deets;

    hr.open("POST", url, true);
    hr.setRequestHeader("content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");

    hr.onreadystatechange = function()
    {
        if(hr.readyState == 4 && hr.status == 200)
        {
            var return_data = hr.responseText;
            document.getElementById("events").innerHTML = return_data;
        }
    }
    hr.send(vars);
    document.getElementById("events").innerHTML = "Processing...";
}

and then the events.php code is my other suspect though I have been looking at the javascript that makes the call to the show_details function and here is that code

for($i = 1; $i <= $day_count; $i++)
{
    $date = $showMonth . '/' . $i . '/' . $showYear;
    $query = mysql_query('SELECT id FROM events WHERE date = "'.$date.'"');
    $num_rows = mysql_num_rows($query);

    if($num_rows > 0)
    {
        $event = "<input name = '$date' type = 'submit' value = 'Details' id = '$date' onClick = 'javascript:show_details(this);'>";
    }
    echo '<div class = "cal_day">';
    echo '<div class = "day_heading">' . $i . '</div>';

    if($num_rows != 0)
    {
        echo "<div class = 'openings'><br />" . $event . "</div>";
    }
    echo '</div>';
}

there is something not comunicating propperly so that the information of my description cell in my mysql database table is not being pulled up and displayed like it should be and that is also keeping even the button created to exit the overlay from being created.
