I'm using ProtoFish (and therefore Prototype) on a client project, and some parts of the project are hosted by a third-party web app that includes some JavaScript of their own.
I've determined that one of the scripts (http://mcle.custhelp.com/cgi- bin/mcle.cfg/php/euf/application/development/source/rightnow/ javascript/json-min.js) is conflicting with Prototype, breaking the drop down menus, and returning "Error: INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR: DOM Exception 5 / prototype.js:1817" in the Safari console. The details of the conflict are beyond my understanding of JS/ Prototype, but I gather it has to do with both scripts trying to modify Object.prototype. I understand that extending JavaScript Array and Object types is controversial, and I'm not trying to re-raise that issue. I am wondering, however, if json-min.js is being a bad citizen, or simply doing the same type of thing that Prototype does, and therefore conflicting. And more importantly, is there anything I can do, since getting the third-party to modify their system is unlikely, to route around the collision?
