Prototype in no conflict mode

[Alastair Young]

I need to move my code (Prototype 1.7.1) into someone else's much larger project using jQuery v1.5.1.

Can I load Prototype in no-conflict mode ? I can't change any of the jQuery stuff.

Thanks

Not as far as I know. The issue as I understand it is that Prototype extends the (lower-case) prototype of a number of JS primitives, and these extensions are an issue for jquery, over and above the simple name collision between $ in both libraries. Can you modify the HTML? You may be able to inject the jquery noConflict() function call in between the link to jquery and the subsequent links to various scripts and plugins that rely on it. That still won't fix things if those scripts are written in a style that doesn't expect to be in the presence of noConflict, though.

I can't modify the HTML - I fear my only solution is port all my code to jQuery

Before you do that, try this. Download a copy of the prototype source cod locally, and use find-and-replace to substitute another character, like the underscore, for $. Do the same in a fork of your code. See if that does anything useful. It may.

What if I ran my stuff in a frame - would jquery still conflict if it's loaded in the topmost frame?

I was going to suggest that as an option, but I didn't know if you shared my disdain for I frames or not.
