superfish and Lokesh Dhakar's lightbox2 seem to conflict - please help

Hi,

Firstly, really like Superfish!

Also should mention I'm a complete noob when it comes to JavaScript
code.

Have successfully implemented the out-of-the-box Superfish nav-bar
style within this website though - it's temporarily located here
http://www.the2jays.com/index.php (note this site is still very much
under construction, styling is still yet to be done (including the nav
bar) and the site-wide build is only partially uploaded to the remote
server).

The site is a partial rebuild/ redesign and the old site used Lokesh
Dhakar's lightbox2 on a number of pages (page contents on the new site
are to remain the same as the old). On pages that reference the
lightbox2 script (using 'Prototype JavaScript framework - version
1.4.0') a slight conflict with the desired rendering of the Superfish
nav-bar seems to occur - example page http://www.the2jays.com/news/papua-new-guinea001.php

Lightbox2 seems to still work fine and so does Superfish mostly,
however the ‘PHP if statement’ generating the ‘current class tab’ on
the top level 'News' button is lost/ missing and the second tier level
button row has greater space between it and the top level than desired
(while on this page mouse-over a different top level button to see
what I mean).

Hope the above makes sense.

When I turn off <script type="text/javascript" src="../js/
prototype.js"></script> in the head section of the page Superfish
appears perfect so I'm assuming it's got something to do with the
‘prototype’ framework ?

I've looked at 'jQuery with Other Libraries' but as a noob this is
over-my-head atm http://docs.jquery.com/Using_jQuery_with_Other_Libraries
and to be honest I'm not sure if I'm on the right track.

Did also try turning 'Lokesh Dhakar's lightbox2' off and used 'jQuery
Lightbox 0.5' instead thinking the two jQuery scripts should work
together. The same problem still occurred however.

Anyway, thought at this point I should probably post here and see if
someone can assist me.

Thanks in advance.

was trying to look at the navbar and didn't see protoype script there

one problem is you have 2 versions of jquery.js loading, one with each plugin. That can cause problems. Keep the top one, delete bottom one. See if that helps. If menu problem persists seeing a version with no other scripts running might help

if you use prototye put the jQuery.noConflict() right at beginning of the script tag with $(document).ready and place it before $(document).ready, then you have to change all "$" used for jQuery functions to "jQuery".

Thanks Charlie,

Greatly appreciate your assistance with this. Unfortunately however
still no joy...

I'd prefer to continue using the Prototype version of Lightbox and
I've now been informed by other team members that I must so am really
keen to get Superfish and Lightbox2 working properly independent of
one another on this and similar pages.

Have had a go at implementing jQuery.noConflict(); and you'll be able
to see how I've gone about doing this within the head section of the
same page as before http://www.the2jays.com/news/papua-new-guinea001.php
. Not sure if I followed your instructions to a tee though: I added
what I thought to be the correct jQuery.noConflict(); code to the
existing Superfish script tag within the page head.
I then proceeded to change/ swap out (used Dreamweaver's 'find and
replace') every instance of '$' in the two external javascript files
related to Superfish - superfish.js & hoverIntent.js . I've not made
any changes to the jquery-1.2.6.min.js file contents. I was assuming
this is what you meant by, "[...] then you have to change all "$" used
for jQuery functions to "jQuery"."

The reference/ call to the external prototype.js remains positioned
under the above script tag mentioned above.

On the remote website the initial problem still remains so I'm
assuming I've not properly implemented the jQuery.noConflict();

I've been searching the web for a beginners/ n00b step by step
tutorial on how to properly implement jQuery.noConflict(); but yet to
find one so thought I'd post again here .

Thanks again,

JayD

gone too far, only place the $ needs changing is in the script tag you use to call menu and create functions based on jquery.js or plugins. The plugins are safely contained in special function wrappers. For now just consider plugin files as read only, and library files are always read only

you've placed noConflict properly within the script tag with document .ready, however I would follow the instructions on placement of script files a little closer.

Your prototype call of // Use Prototype with $(...), etc.
         $('someid').hide();
is above the prototype library so that is already throwing an error that "$ is not a function"

best to just get a clean copy of superfish.js and replace the one you modified. The visuals are CSS related I'm fairly sure. The current class isn't being applied correctly, it's showing up on <a> tags, look at markup on superfish website for navbar example and tags that have current class applied, compare to yours.

Also, sf-menu is floated right, no float applied on original superfish, not sure if that is a problem but since you're having problems I'd get rid of it, maybe use margin, or float a container instead

My suggestion is start over. Clean CSS file, clean markup, clean js file. Also kill the other scripts one at a time, see what happens

Thanks again Charlie,

Have done as you've said but still no luck.

I've placed the script file referencing to the 'prototype library'
above the below as you described.
// Use Prototype with $(...), etc.
         $('someid').hide();


The relevant parts of the page head now look like this:

<!-- CSS -->
                <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="" title="default" />
                <style type="text/css" media="all">
                        @import url(../css/reset.css);
                        @import url(../css/styles-2-column.css);
                        @import url(../css/styles.css);
                        @import url(../css/lightbox.css);
                </style>

<!-- Superfish jQuery CSS. -->
        <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../css/
superfish.css" media="screen">
        <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../css/superfish-
navbar.css" media="screen">

<!-- All external javascript -->
        <script type="text/JavaScript" src="../js/global.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/
250/addthis_widget.js?pub=pp023"></script>

<!-- Lightbox2 -->
        <script type="text/javascript" src="../js/prototype.js"></
script>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="../js/scriptaculous.js?
load=effects"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="../js/lightbox.js"></
script>

<!-- Superfish jQuery: link to the JavaScript files (hoverIntent is
optional) -->
        <script type="text/javascript" src="../js/jquery-1.2.6.min.js"></
script>

        <script type="text/javascript">
                jQuery.noConflict();

                // initialise plugins
                jQuery(document).ready(function(){
        jQuery("ul.sf-menu").superfish({
            pathClass:  'current'
        });
    });

                 // Use Prototype with $(...), etc.
         $('someid').hide();

        </script>

        <script type="text/javascript" src="../js/hoverIntent.js"></
script>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="../js/superfish.js"></script>


I've placed the calls to the 2 external Superfish related JavaScript
files below jQuery.noConflict(); script. Above or below I didn't see
any difference when testing not that this was something you suggested
to try.

I have also restored all Superfish js and css files back to the
originals. I've taken out other 3rd party scripts along the way also.
The 2nd tier extra top space issue has now come good so that was
obviously something I'd done wrong with the Superfish style sheet
tweaking.

Have re-added the 'PHP if statement' on the <li> and the <a> (have
been using this tutorial to do such things for a while now
http://www.crucialwebhost.com/blog/you-are-here-using-php-to-highlight-navigation/
). That all seems to be behaving itself though the Superfish primary
nav bar arrows disappear causing right padding between each button to
collapse which was part of the original problem (in fact this now
would be the only problem not yet resolved). Note: the above mentioned
‘missing arrows’ occurs with or without the ‘current class’ assigned
to the unordered list.

As soon as I removed the script reference to the 'prototype.js' file
though even that little error fixes itself… so I'm still left thinking
the conflict between the jQuery.js and the prototype.js file is still
occurring and therefore the jQuery.noConflict(); is still not properly
implemented and therefore not doing it's job.

The page location remains the same http://www.the2jays.com/news/papua-new-guinea001.php
. Would you mind having another look for me please? I know this must
be taking up your time and do appreciate all the assistance you’ve
supplied so far. I’m thinking there must just be something very minor
that I've not implemented correctly.

Thanks again,
JayD

Figured it out. Thought I'd post my own answer here. Seems I was using
an older version of scriptaculous.js . Apparently... "there is a
conflict with an older version of Scriptaculous and jQuery
(Scriptaculous was attempting to extend the native Array prototype
incorrectly)". For anyone who may have a similar problem in the future
I found this on this page http://stackoverflow.com/questions/134572/jquery-prototype-conflict
(see reply three marked as the answer).  So I upgrading
scriptaculous.js including effects.js to version v1.8.0 and now
Superfish and Lightbox2 work perfectly well together on the same
page.

The Prototype JavaScript framework was also upgraded to version
1.6.0.3. I followed the upgrade instructions on this page
http://www.myphpbook.com/articles/updgrading-prototype-and-scriptaculous

jQuery.noConflict(); was also required in the page header. The all
important ordering of the calls to the external javascript libraries
and files was as follows (according to Firefox Developer tools no
errors are now occurring - please though if someone experienced with
this kind of thing sees order errors in the below great if you could
amend and post):

<!-- Prototype JavaScript framework Library - used by Lightbox2 -->
        <script type="text/javascript" src="../js/prototype.js"></
script>

<!-- jQuery JavaScript framework Library - used by Superfish -->
                <script type="text/javascript" src="../js/jquery-1.2.6.min.js"></
script>

                <script type="text/javascript">
                jQuery.noConflict();

                // initialise plugins
                jQuery(document).ready(function(){
        jQuery("ul.sf-menu").superfish({
            pathClass:  'current'
        });
    });

                 // Use Prototype with $(...), etc.
         $('someid').hide();

                </script>

<!-- Lightbox2 -->

The current class isn't being applied correctly, it's showing up on <a> tags, look at markup onsuperfishwebsite for navbar example and tags that have current class applied, compare to yours.

I'd prefer to continue using thePrototypeversion ofLightboxand I've now been informed by other team members that I must so am really keen to getSuperfishand Lightbox2 working properly independent of one another on this and similar pages. Have had a go at implementingjQuery.noConflict(); and you'll be able to see how I've gone about doing this within the head section of the same page as beforehttp://www.the2jays.com/news/papua-new-guinea001.php. Not sure if I followed your instructions to a tee though: I added what I thought to be the correctjQuery.noConflict(); code to the existingSuperfishscript tag within the page head. I then proceeded to change/ swap out (used Dreamweaver's 'find and replace') every instance of '$' in the two external javascript files related toSuperfish-superfish.js & hoverIntent.js . I've not made any changes to thejquery-1.2.6.min.js file contents. I was assuming this is what you meant by, "[...] then you have to change all "$" used forjQueryfunctions to "jQuery"." The reference/ call to the externalprototype.js remains positioned under the above script tag mentioned above. On the remote website the initial problem still remains so I'm assuming I've not properly implemented thejQuery.noConflict(); I've been searching the web for a beginners/ n00b step by step tutorial on how to properly implementjQuery.noConflict(); but yet to find one so thought I'd post again here . Thanks again, JayD On Jul 3, 4:38 am, Charlie<charlie...@...>wrote:was trying to look at the navbar and didn't see protoype script there one problem is you have 2 versions ofjquery.js loading, one with each plugin. That can cause problems. Keep the top one, delete bottom one. See if that helps. If menu problem persists seeing a version with no other scripts running might help if you use prototye put thejQuery.noConflict() right at beginning of the script tag with $(document).ready and place it before $(document).ready, then you have to change all "$" used forjQueryfunctions to "jQuery". JayD wrote:Hi, Firstly, really likeSuperfish! Also should mention I'm a complete noob when it comes to JavaScript code. Have successfully implemented the out-of-the-boxSuperfishnav-bar style within this website though - it's temporarily located herehttp://www.the2jays.com/index.php(notethis site is still very much under construction, styling is still yet to be done (including the nav bar) and the site-wide build is only partially uploaded to the remote server). The site is a partial rebuild/ redesign and the old site used Lokesh Dhakar's lightbox2 on a number of pages (page contents on the new site are to remain the same as the old). On pages that reference the lightbox2 script (using 'PrototypeJavaScript framework - version 1.4.0') a slight conflict with the desired rendering of theSuperfishnav-bar seems to occur - example pagehttp://www.the2jays.com/news/papua-new-guinea001.phpLightbox2seems to still work fine and so doesSuperfishmostly, however the ‘PHP if statem ent’ generating the ‘current class tab’ on the top level 'News' button is lost/ missing and the second tier level button row has greater space between it and the top level than desired (while on this page mouse-over a different top level button to see what I mean). Hope the above makes sense. When I turn off <script type="text/javascript" src="../js/prototype.js"></script> in the head section of the pageSuperfishappears perfect so I'm assuming it's got something to do with the ‘prototype’ framework ? I've looked at 'jQuerywith Other Libraries' but as a noob this is over-my-head atmhttp://docs.jquery.com/Using_jQuery_with_Other_Librariesandto be honest I'm not sure if I'm on the right track. Did also try turning 'Lokesh Dhakar's lightbox2' off and used 'jQueryLightbox0.5' instead thinking the twojQueryscripts should work together. The same problem still occurred however. Anyway, thought at this point I should probably post here an d see if someone can assist me. Thanks in advance. JayD
