Hi all, I've installed a pilot version of Koha to try it out for a new small library in Ohio (USA). The interface is very nice, and for the most part is working great, but I'm having troubles with the Z39.50 search portion of the acquisitions interface. With either the simple or the normal/advanced interface, when I edit a MARC biblio and click the "Z39.50 search" button I get this Javascript error in the Javascript console of my browser (happens on Firefox, Mozilla, and IE): Error: document.forms[0].field_value has no properties Source File: acqui.simple/addbiblio.pl?oldbiblionumber=1 Line: 412 When I inspect the DOM of the page I see that document.forms[0] doesn't have any property field_value, so this looks like a legitimate error message. Is this page working for other people? My Koha version is: 2.0.1RC1 Thanks, Matt Hartfield --- Matt Hartfield matt@rainbowwings.org

Hmm, that's a little confusing. Normally you don't edit the biblio, you choose to add a biblio, supply some search term (like an ISBN), then click on "Z39.50 Search" to start searching against your list of Z39.50 servers for a record that matches your search term. After you've selected a match, that's when you get the chance to edit the biblio. I've had no problems with the Z39.50 search -- assuming I remember to start the daemon :-) -- Stephen Hedges Skemotah Solutions, USA www.skemotah.com -- shedges@skemotah.com
Though I said it badly, that's what I was doing =). I figured out the problem - my MARC mapping was set up incorrectly. The error message had me confused, but apparently if my MARC mapping is incorrect the Javascript ends up out of whack. I fixed that and now the searches are executed. On to the next issue: the searches are being executed against my 2 Z targets and they're showing up in the z3950results table in the database, but they're not displaying in the popup results window for me to select one of them. That window tells me that I got no results even though I get exactly one hit back on ISBN from both Z servers. Any ideas for something goofy that I've neglected to configure? =) Thanks, Matt -- Matt Hartfield matt@rainbowwings.org http://www.rainbowwings.org Blog: http://www.rainbowwings.org/blogs/matt On Wed, 13 Oct 2004, Stephen Hedges wrote:
