Change $ to $p or $proto in prototype.js

[Amit Dwivedi]

Hi, 

Can we change $ in prototype.js to something else like $p or $proto

Thanks

The framework doesn't provide any tools to enable that, but you could fork it and do that I suppose. You may have a larger issue because Prototype extends the prototype (small p) of a lot of different parts of the JavaScript language, and some of these changes mean that sloppily-written code will error out rather than sorta work. Iterating over an object with for .. in will also iterate over all of the methods that Prototype adds to every object, for example. This is fine if you have a normal object, but an Array is also an object, and it gets a bunch of new methods added to it as well. This breaks assumptions that code written in the absence of Prototype may be relying on to work at all.

The real question is, which problem are you trying to solve? Some sort of conflict?

Thanks for the reply Walter, changing $ to $p causing some problem(like calling jquery hide or show function, prototype.js function gets called). So i what did to solve the conflict is to open a prototype.js related things in new tab and using jquery.noConflict().

Thanks,

Amit

I suspected that's what it was and was gonna suggest jquery.noconflict
