Hi I am pretty new to working with Javascript and am having an issue with two different lightbox styles on one page. One of the lightboxes is for an image gallery to popuop and the other is for a contact form to popup. Both of these work fine when they are on their own but when I get to my Portfolio page that needs both only one of them works.

I have done some Google searches and found that I may need to change the <body onload:> but I really cannot figure out how to do this.

Here are the scripts on my page. The first set is for the image lightbox and the second set is for the contact form lightbox:

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

<script type="text/javascript" src="contact/jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="contact/jquery.form.js"></script>
<link href="contact/facebox/facebox.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="contact/facebox/facebox.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".contimage").hover(function() {
$(this).animate({
opacity:1
},200);
}, function() {
$(this).animate({
opacity:0.8
},200);
});
$('#submitform').ajaxForm({
target: '#error',
success: function() {
$('#error').fadeIn('slow');
}
});
$('a[rel*=facebox]').facebox()
});
</script>

I really hope someone here can provide some insight in what I need to do to get this to work. The site is on a temporary domain at http://www.newsite.moorewebexposure.com/portfolio.html

Thanks in advance!

jQuery and Prototype both use the $ object. If you want to run both at the same time, you need to switch jQuery over to noConflict() mode, and substitute jQuery for $ in all of your code. Or, instead of using Prototype (scriptaculous) lightbox, you could just use a jQuery lightbox instead.

Thank wayfarer that helps point me in the right direction. I have made several attempts at this but am still confused. I am not too savvy with Javascript at all .

I have narrowed this down to basically one file and am prototype for everything now except this one file. It is using a facebox file which I believe is jQuery. What would I need to change in this file and then what would I need to post in the code on the actual page to reflect that change?

Here is the facebox file:

HTML Code:

/*
 * Facebox (for jQuery)
 * version: 1.2 (05/05/2008)
 * @requires jQuery v1.2 or later
 *
 * Examples at [url]http://famspam.com/facebox/[/url]
 *
 * Licensed under the MIT:
 *   [url]http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php[/url]
 *
 * Copyright 2007, 2008 Chris Wanstrath [ [email]chris@ozmm.org[/email] ]
 *
 * Usage:
 *  
 *  jQuery(document).ready(function() {
 *    jQuery('a[rel*=facebox]').facebox() 
 *  })
 *
 *  <a href="#terms" rel="facebox">Terms</a>
 *    Loads the #terms div in the box
 *
 *  <a href="http://www.webmaster-talk.com/../Lightbox Contact form/facebox/terms.html" rel="facebox">Terms</a>
 *    Loads the terms.html page in the box
 *
 *  <a href="http://www.webmaster-talk.com/../Lightbox Contact form/facebox/terms.png" rel="facebox">Terms</a>
 *    Loads the terms.png image in the box
 *
 *
 *  You can also use it programmatically:
 * 
 *    jQuery.facebox('some html')
 *
 *  The above will open a facebox with "some html" as the content.
 *    
 *    jQuery.facebox(function($) { 
 *      $.get('blah.html', function(data) { $.facebox(data) })
 *    })
 *
 *  The above will show a loading screen before the passed function is called,
 *  allowing for a better ajaxy experience.
 *
 *  The facebox function can also display an ajax page or image:
 *  
 *    jQuery.facebox({ ajax: 'remote.html' })
 *    jQuery.facebox({ image: 'dude.jpg' })
 *
 *  Want to close the facebox?  Trigger the 'close.facebox' document event:
 *
 *    jQuery(document).trigger('close.facebox')
 *
 *  Facebox also has a bunch of other hooks:
 *
 *    loading.facebox
 *    beforeReveal.facebox
 *    reveal.facebox (aliased as 'afterReveal.facebox')
 *    init.facebox
 *
 *  Simply bind a function to any of these hooks:
 *
 *   $(document).bind('reveal.facebox', function() { ...stuff to do after the facebox and contents are revealed... })
 *

One thing you can do, if you're confused about the noConflict thing, is include the jQuery library before Prototype. That way Prototype will just overwrite the '$' variable. Then, in any jQuery code, simply replace any instances of '$' with 'jQuery', which does the same thing. Or, if pasting 'jQuery' over and over gets tiresome, you can wrap the entire jQuery code in this closure:

Code:

(function($) {
//a bunch of jQuery code goes here
})(jQuery);

This will allow the $ variable to operate locally, without needing it to exist globally.
