Well if you're observing validates_captcha acting odd when you're
using jQuery, or vice-versa, you've found out....
Another easy way to avoid conflict between the various JS libraries is
to do something like this:
jQuery.noConflict();
(function($) {
.... //jquery code goes here, allowing you to use $ willy-nilly...
})(jQuery);
you'll need to make sure that the jQuery.noConflict() call comes
*before* any code using Prototype or whatever runs (as
validates_captcha uses the inline rjs helpers this shouldn't be a
concern, but I've yet to actually *use* validates_captcha so you'll
see)
Completely offtopic though, I find jQuery overwhelmingly useful and
intuitive. Granted, while its more just a "DOM manipulation, ajax and
effects" library where Prototype is a general purpose Javascript
framework, Javascript's *soo* flexible and powerful that a library
adding class-based inheritance and enumerators everywhere often gets
in the way of the "Javascript-way" of doing things.
