Thanks for this Andre.

I’ve made the javascript change, identified the problematic event, and dumped the body text.  In fact the body text seems to include two different events, one STATUS:CANCELLED, and the other STATUS:CONFIRMED.

How can I identify the problem with this object?  Could I perhaps send you the body text under separate cover?

Also, any thoughts on the issue I described below?

Thanks
