prototype and jquery conflict-clash-compatibility issue
Yesterday we got major clash/compatibility issue or conflict 
with jQuery and Prototype.
We were using javascript slider and menu with jQuery and some popup window with prototype window.
Searched a lot 
, Then finally came up with 2 solution.
- Every one says change in jQuery, prototype doesnt have any thing like this.
- we got this link solving the conflict/clash/compatibility withing jQuery and Prototype
var $j = jQuery.noConflict();
// Use jQuery via $j(...)
$j(document).ready(function(){
$j("div").hide();
});
// Use Prototype with $(...), etc.
$('someid').hide();
So where ever you are getting “$” change this to “$j” or any variable what ever you like.
Really, jQuery is built is such at superb way, so this proves that this is fully dynamic.
What a solution sir ji, wah!! 3 cheers to jQuery guys.
Lession learnt : first see the requirment, dont just use any js library that suites your requirment. See the dependency then go ahead.
there was a time when i got this same problem and found the solution too. i posted the solution on my blog here: http://ahsangill.wordpress.com/2008/12/30/using-jquery-and-prototype-in-same-application/
but nice to know that ur problem has solved,

Why did you have to use both JQ and prototype.js in the first place, couldn’t you have just use JQ? and Yeah JQ is awsome.
yea, you are right. But it was my mistake, I need to build something so we used Prototype but when it comes to implement the changes to live then we got to know that we have already jQuery for that project.
So we need to look for patch.
So you just add that code to your javascript or to your html? Sorry, I’m trying to develop a website that uses prototype and jQuery. Once you add the script then you have to change all instances of $ into $j in your .js code?
i have added these lines to .js file.
See what happen, the prototype and jquery both use “$” so in jquery you can assign $ as $z and then replace all $ to $z.
But this you need to change in jquery only, bcoz prototype wont support this thing.
hope this will help you.
happy progromming.
