Question

Working with multiple jQuery libraries and Prototype.

Answer 1

A:

The order they are on the page is how they will be loaded, however making sure they don't conflict and demolish eachother is a completely different ballgame.

Whatever situation is causing this, you might want to just start from scratch.

well we have a big site that was built with Prototype, then started migrating to jq 1.2.3. not everything has been converted from PT to jQ yet. I need the jsTree plugin that uses 1.4.2, but some older plugins for whatever reason are failing on it.

I'm not recommending this... but you could try to extract the applicable methods from the earlier version and host them in another file to gain access to the stuff you need. This might cause more grief then it's worth though :(

Answer 2

+1 A:

Not sure I understand how the order works unless of you have a loop waiting for the load, because I think the script includes are asynchronous.

You can have Prototype and jquery coexit if in jquery you safely wrap your jquery code in a:

(function($){

   //jQuery goodness

})(jQuery);
