"Auf" can take both Dative and Accusative. I'm not a native speaker, but from what I understood if "auf" means "on" and indicates something static - then it's Dative (i.e. "Das Buch liegt auf dem Tisch". If you can translate it with it "to" or suggests a motion towards the object - it's Accusative.
