Lightbox gallery - prototype.js and jQuery conflict

If you use jQuery on the same page as a Kentico lightbox, you get the "$" conflict that is easily solved by using jQuery.noConflict(). However a weird bug with a negative index array then pops up from prototype.js (which is used by the lightbox).

This is solved by upgrading to the latest version of prototype.js - but this is THREE times the size of the old version (166kb) This comes down to 120kb by minifying - but it's still pretty thick given the ammount of JS on the page in the first place.

If anyone has any better solutions - I'd be most grateful.

RE:Lightbox gallery - prototype.js and jQuery conflict

Hi,

Well, if you need to use jQuery on your page, you can use following code which will register Kentico CMS jQuery script on your page:

CMS.GlobalHelper.ScriptHelper.RegisterJQuery(Page)

public static void RegisterJQuery(
Page page
)

Then you can access your elements with following example code:

$j('.xxx') or jQuery('.xxx')

Best regards,
Miroslav Remias.
