Question

I’ve started a php project, it will use cakePhp.

I saw that cakePhp has its Ajax Helper only working with prototype. Okay, not a problem, I can use prototype for the ajax helper.

The problem is that I wish to use javascript to ease my views development, using some cool features(e.g. slidedown the content of a div, …).

I didn’t find any way to do this with prototype(is it possible or not?), so I thought of using jquery only to do this, the problem is that they have both the same structure and when I try to do something like

$("mydiv").SlideDown("fast");

It never uses the correct library, so I think they are incompatible(because they have both the same synthax.

So what is my best shot with this kind of problem?

Answer 1

use jQuery("myDiv") selector instead, or you can use jQuery.noConflict() to return control over $ variable to prototype

jQuery noConflict
