javascript additions

[xmanhattan]

Hello all,

I am trying to test some bots locally using the following code and having problems.  Are these js files conflicting?

Code: [Select]


<link  href="<?php echo $mosConfig_live_site; ?>/templates/okto/lytebox/lytebox.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" />
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="<?php echo $mosConfig_live_site; ?>/templates/okto/lytebox/lytebox.js"></script>


<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="<?php echo $mosConfig_live_site; ?>/templates/okto/js/mootools-core-1.4.3-full-compat-yc.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="<?php echo $mosConfig_live_site; ?>/templates/okto/js/slimbox.js"></script>


<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="<?php echo $mosConfig_live_site; ?>/templates/okto/js/jquery-1.7.1.min.js"></script>

Yes!
Mootools and jQuery librabies cause conflicts when your website loads.

Is there any special reason as to why anyone would use mootools over jquery.  From what I have seen about the two of them, I think that jquery is probably a better way to go.

Thanks webgift

Yes! I have seen many websites using jQuery library. I use both of them regarding the circumstances.
I think that most popular is jQuery .
Note: If you can avoid using any of them would be great for your website performance!

For use jQuery and mootools you need add jQuery.noConflict and for all call function use jQuery(...)

acampball , excellent suggestion.  http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.noConflict/

I don't think that jquery uses to much bandwidth or processing but it has many useful features.  I read somewhere that the $ can be used to differentiate between other js libraries.

Basically I think that it may be a good idea to incorporate the use of at least jquery and maybe mootools into Elxis since it is being used in templates more often.

One more reason to use jquery as a standard is because it is being used in html5.

Have a look at this.  http://nerdi.net/
