Answer 1

You appear to be using MooTools and jQuery:

<script type="text/javascript" src="js/mootools.js"></script>
...
<script src="http://jqueryjs.googlecode.com/files/jquery-1.3.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Both libraries I believe use the $ shorthand. You will need to setup one or the other to not-use $ to avoid cross pollination of your code. ' Check out this article on jQuery and other libraries. Basically you call noConflict() like so:

 jQuery.noConflict();

and then in all your jQuery code, use jQuery in place of $:

$('foo').bar();

becomes

jQuery('foo').bar();
