So I have a page that uses both Prototype and Mootools AJAX scripts.
There is much more Mootools that Prototype, so I\'m wondering if Prototype has a function simila
The newest version of MooTools has a no conflict mode. Unfortunately, Prototype does not, which means that the $ will have to be bound to Prototype.
To enable the Dollar Safe Mode, upgrade your version of MooTools and make sure you include MooTools after Prototype.
After doing so, $ will be bound to Prototype. In MooTools scripts, replace all $ references to document.id.
// Before
var X = new Class({
initialize: function(element){
this.element = $(element);
}
});
// After
var X = new Class({
initialize: function(element){
this.element = document.id(element);
}
});
or you can use a closure:
(function(){
var $ = document.id;
this.X = new Class({
initialize: function(element){
this.element = $(element);
}
});
})();
More information about the Dollar Safe Mode is available in MooTools' blog:
