[Proto-Scripty] Re: BlindDown issue, won't work

They do. (No need for sticking one's tongue out, though.)

To use jQuery on the same page as script.aculo.us, you have to use
jQuery.noConflict to return the `$` symbol back to Prototype.
Otherwise, script.aculo.us won't work, as it uses `$` assuming it will
be Prototype's `$`. Looking at the parts of your code you quoted, you
_seem_ to be using `$` as a global symbol referring to jQuery, which
won't work.

Normally, when using jQuery, `jQuery` and `$` are both global symbols
(window properties) aliasing one another, but using noConflict
releases `$` back to whatever had it before jQuery loaded. It doesn't
release the `jQuery` symbol, though, so you can still use jQuery via
that rather than `$`:

jQuery.noConflict();
// ...
jQuery("#foo").css({color: "blue"});

But don't worry, you don't have to do a massive search-and-replace on
your code changing `$` to `jQuery`, you can just re-alias it within a
constrained scope and then put all your code inside that scope. (This
is a good idea _anyway_, to avoid polluting the global namespace.) So
you can use checkLogin and your other code as written:

jQuery.noConflict();
(function($) {
// Here, $ === jQuery
function checkLogin() {
// ...
}
})(jQuery);
// Here, $ !== jQuery, it's Prototype's $ function

That works by defining a scoping function and immediately executing
it, passing the jQuery function into it as an argument that it
receives as $ -- shadowing the global within the closure.

If you don't need _any_ of your code to be executed until the DOM is
ready, you can do this to make it really short:

jQuery.noConflict()(function($) {
// Here, $ === jQuery
function checkLogin() {
// ...
}
});
// Here, $ !== jQuery, it's Prototype's $ function

That works because `noConflict` returns the `jQuery` function, which
when called with a function argument[2] sets up the DOM ready
callback, and jQuery passes the DOM ready callback the jQuery function
as an argument.

If you are correctly using noConflict and still having trouble, I'd
suggest doing up a minimalist, self-contained test page[3]
demonstrating the problem and posting it to Pastie.org, jsbin.com,
jsfiddle.net, or whatever, and replying with the link.

You must have conflicts using jQuery and prototype (used through
scriptaculous). have a look to the noconflict options of jquery
http://docs.jquery.com/Using_jQuery_with_Other_Libraries

Yes but I got the problem with the effect thing, why won't the
BlindDown work, I even tried to make another function and called it
from onClick but nothing.,. I thought scriptaculous issues come
here :P
