help with JQuery

Hi,    have somebody experience using JQuery in an application Ror join to prototype?    somebody knows if is possible use Prototype and JQuery all together?

   I am trying implement drag and drop effects in a table but nothing is happening. The javascript is not loaded. I found this two links that I write below and I done all the steps but the effects didn't appear in the proves.

can somebody tell me about another link or howto to see to fix this?

I have installed on the development machine :

System Debian GNU/Linux lenny Rails 2.1.0-5

         Many thanks people. Bye

Do you really need both prototype and JQuery? In general, if you can keep it all in one JS framework your app will be easier to build and maintain.

You can do drag-and-drop with Prototype and Scriptaculous. DevArticles has an excerpt from the book Ajax on Rails which explains drag-and- drop: Business Name Generator - Alter

If for some reason you must have only the JQuery version of drag-and- drop, you may want to investigate using JRails (http://ennerchi.com/ projects/jrails) so that the rest of your Rails helpers are implemented in JQuery, and then you don't need prototype.

Lastly, if it turns out that you absolutely have to have both libraries, there is a no-conflict mode in JQuery that makes it possible. Out of the box, prototype and JQuery don't work together because they both define the $() function. If you call jQuery.noConflict(), then you can use jQuery() instead of $(). Note that this means you'll have to translate any jQuery code you copy from other sources. More details here: Avoiding Conflicts with Other Libraries | jQuery Learning Center
