Multiple Javascript Conflicts

    Hi there

    I'm a cut and paste javascript man, so please don't be too harsh. I'm not great at understanding how js code actually works.

    I have two scripts on one page.

    The first is for an image slider called loopedSlider:

    <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
    $(function(){
    $("#loopedslider").loopedSlider({
    slides: ".slides"
    });
    });
    </script>

    The second is for a lightbox for video called prettyPhoto:

    <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
    $(document).ready(function(){
    $("a[rel^='prettyPhoto']").prettyPhoto();
    });
    </script>

    Both scripts are included at the bottom of the page before the </body> tag.

    The links in the head appear as follows:

    <!-- PrettyPhoto -->
    <script src="prettyPhoto/jquery-1.3.2.min.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>
    <script src="prettyPhoto/jquery.prettyPhoto.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/prettyPhoto.css" type="text/css" media="screen" charset="utf-8" />
    <!-- End PrettyPhoto -->

    and

    <!-- Loopslider -->
    <script src="js/jquery-1.3.2.min.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>
    <script src="js/loopedslider.js"></script>
    <!-- End Loopslider -->

    However, the slider works fine but the lightbox for video does not. Both work fine separately.

    Any ideas? I hope I have provided enough info.

    Cheers

    If your using firefox you should install firebug so you can debug the javascript. Also check the error console as this will tell you what errors are being thrown.

    Hi

    I tried the debugger on Safari and it identified the following:

    <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
    $(document).ready(function(){
    $("a[rel^='prettyPhoto']").prettyPhoto();
    index.html:107Uncaught TypeError: Object #<an Object> has no method 'prettyPhoto'
    });
    </script>

    Any idea what this means?

    Sorry to be a pain!

    Haven't used Javascript selectors in ages but I saw this:

    a[rel^='prettyPhoto']

    You should have an object handy like:

    <a rel="prettyPhoto" src="that.jpg>THING!</a>

    Does that tie in with the HTML on your page?

    EDIT: Oops. Just noticed you said they worked fine separately. The problem is still that objects don't seem available to the script, so can't have the method applied to them. Changes the why, though.

    Hi

    Thanks for your efforts! Yes they do work fine separately and the rel="prettyPhoto" tag is in there. Still stuck!

    :(

    Hang on... are you including jQuery twice? I mean, are those two snippets exactly as from the one page? Before anything else, get rid of the second reference - that will cause trouble, and hopefully yours.

    You only need one reference to the jquery javascript library, insert:

    <script src="js/jquery-1.3.2.min.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>

    once in between the <head></head> tags before any other javascript.

    You should really read a basic tutorial on javascript and the jquery library since your using it. You will save yourself a lot of headaches and time in the future with a basic understanding of how it works:

    Hi

    Yep, that's worked now. The duplicate jquery reference seemed to be doing it.

    Thanks for the links on jquery basics, I'll deffo have a look at it and try to understand it.

    Thanks for your help!! :)
