What version of Scriptaculous are you using? There is a known conflict between 1.7.x and jQuery. Updating Scriptaculous to the current 1.8.x fixes it. I don't know if that's the issue you ran into (actually I think it would cause worse problems than that).
That's probably about all anyone can tell you without seeing an actual test page. -Mike > From: Jub > > Hi gang, > > I'm currently using both jQuery & Scriptaculous archives. > (I'm phasing out Scriptaculous, but it's happening in > stages.)
