Hmm, yes, hadn't thought of that part. I, too, use script.aculo.us (and rico). I don't know then, maybe Dojo is the answer for you Martin. I've only run into a collision with prototype once so far (some other library tried to define a function called Hash, so since I didn't need 2 definitions in my implementation, I canned the other one.) I just think of it like this, the collective combination of libraries loaded into an application or a page results in a single "namespace"... mine. I do what it takes to make sure necessary frameworks work together. It's the nature of the beast.

Not only does it mean that you have to edit your copy of the prototype lib, but you also have to edit any other libraries that may depend on it (script.aculo.us, rico, etc) and he would also have to create special docs for his users, etc. Not alot of fun. > I'm afraid you're looking for the perfect solution, which I'm afraid > does not exist.

Even if Ajile doesn't work for everyone, it might work for him (even if it does add some overhead). -- Michael Peters Developer Plus Three, LP _______________________________________________ Rails-spinoffs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails-spinoffs The information transmitted in this electronic mail is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential, proprietary, and/or privileged material.
