Hello,
I just made the jump from Prototype to jQuery and so far I'm really
enjoying it. However, some parts of my website are still using the
Prototype library and I don't have the time or resources at the moment
to recode everything using the jQuery framework.
The problem I have is that I can't seem to use both libraries on the
same page with the 1.2.6 release of jQuery. Here's a very simple
example of what I'm trying to do:
1) I load jQuery core 1.2.6
2) I load Prototype only if the page needs it (through a PHP
framework)
3) At the top of my page: after the jQuery <script> includes, but
before the Prototype ones (I don't think it matters?):
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function($){
var $j = jQuery;
$j("#userImg").hide();
//jQuery("#userImg").hide();
});
</script>
This short script should hide a div with an ID of "userImg". However,
all I see is one of those two errors (they seem to appear randomly) in
the Firebug error console.
Error: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005
(NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIDOMViewCSS.getComputedStyle]" nsresult:
"0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)" location: "JS frame :: {WEBSITE}/
jQuery/jquery.js :: anonymous :: line 871" data: no]
Source File: {WEBSITE}/jQuery/jquery.js
Line: 22
OR
Error: [Exception... "Node cannot be inserted at the specified point
in the hierarchy" code: "3" nsresult: "0x80530003
(NS_ERROR_DOM_HIERARCHY_REQUEST_ERR)" location: "{WEBSITE}/jQuery/
jquery.js Line: 251"]
Source File: {WEBSITE}/jQuery/jquery.js
Line: 12
I tried all the methods described here (http://docs.jquery.com/
Using_jQuery_with_Other_Libraries), but with no luck. The same two
errors always pop in Firebug when using jQuery 1.2.6.
The exact same piece of code works perfectly when I load the 1.2.4
version of jQuery instead of the 1.2.6 (1.2.5 doesn't work either).
Can anyone think of a way I could fix this and use 1.2.6 (and further
versions). I would hate being stuck with an older version, especially
when updates to jQuery are frequent.
Thanks,
mike
