Jquery + Prototype Question
- by mikeyhill
I recently inherited a site which is botched in all sorts of ways. I'm more of a php guy and initially the js was working just fine. I made no changes to the javascript or the any of the include files but after making a few content edits I'm getting errors from firebug.
a.dispatchEvent is not a function
emptyFunction()protot...ects.js (line 2)
emptyFunction()protot...ects.js (line 2)
fireContentLoadedEvent()protot...ects.js (line 2)
[Break on this error] var Prototype={Version:'1.6.0.2',Brows...pe,Enumerable);Element.addMethods();
protot...ects.js (line 2)
this.m_eTarget.setStyle is not a function
[Break on this error] this.m_eTarget.setStyle( { position: 'relative', overflow:'hidden'} );
protot...ects.js (line 43)
uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80070057 (NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE)" nsresult: "0x80070057 (NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE)" location: "JS frame :: js/prototype_effects.js :: anonymous :: line 2" data: no]
Googling around I found several posts that sometimes jquery+prototype don't play well and rearranging the scripts could fix this issue, however being that I didn't touch these sections I'm not sure where I even need to begin to debug. The previous developer incorporated a head.inc file which loads up prototype, scriptaculous and then many of the pages are in a sub-template loading up jquery for functions like lightbox.
The site is temp housed at http://dawn.mikeyhill.com
Any help is appreciated.
