Hi there,

I am very new to SS. I want to include prototype and scriptaculous in the fornt end, what I have done is followings:

Page.php:

public function init() {
parent::init();

Requirements::themedCSS("layout");
Requirements::themedCSS("typography");
Requirements::themedCSS("form");
Requirements::javascript("jsparty/prototype.js");
Requirements::javascript("jsparty/prototype15.js");
Requirements::javascript("jsparty/prototype_improvements.js");
Requirements::javascript("jsparty/prototype-safe.js");
Requirements::javascript("jsparty/scriptaculous/scriptaculous.js"); //this line seems not include scriptaculous.js

}

The prototype is included and working FINE but not the scriptaculous to me but I am not sure since once I used the effect.fade() or draggable, the
Object cannot be created in this context" code: "9
occurs, I have raised this problem in my previous post.

So I would like to check with your guys, did I do the right thing to include prototype and scriptaculous ? Pls advise...
Thanks heaps :)

Hei guys,

i have included the following prototype library in page.php:

Requirements::javascript("jsparty/prototype.js");
Requirements::javascript("jsparty/prototype15.js");
Requirements::javascript("jsparty/prototype_improvements.js");
Requirements::javascript("jsparty/prototype-safe.js");

i can use prototype library on the front end without problems, but as soon as i add this line for scriptaculous:

Requirements::javascript("jsparty/scriptaculous/scriptaculous.js");

on the front end i got the same javascript error from fire bug as mentioned above:
Object cannot be created in this context" code: "9

have i done something wrong ? any advices for utilising scriptacolous correctly ?

thanks:)
