Running jQuery and prototype scripts together

rubyonrails-talk
1

Hi

I have a rails appplication that uses jquery and prototype for different features.

When adding the jquery library it seems all features in the application that uses prototype stop working.

Should this happen? and if this is the case, how can I solve this?

Many Thanks in advance.

Both jquery and prototype using $ sign for accessing DOM, you should change it to jQuery instead.

jQuery('your_variable').method()

You'll need to execute this after you load the jQuery file..

jQuery.noConflict();
