[fusion-users] Multiple versions of prototype.js

[Paul Spencer]

Hi Stuart,

Fusion does use a full version of Prototype and Scriptaculous but I  
believe it is an older version as we haven't updated in a while.

Fusion 2.0 will use MooTools which is an alternate (and unfortunately  
mutually exclusive) javascript framework.  MooTools is similar to  
Prototype (the MooTools developers were originally part of the  
Prototype community) but different in some subtle ways.

It looks to me like you should be able to take a full build of  
Prototype and Scriptaculous, concatenate them together and replace the  
first 5799 lines of jx_combined.js ... then its just a matter of  
figuring out if this breaks anything and patching Fusion and/or Jx  
stuff.

Or you could just remove those lines from jx_combined.js load your own  
Prototype/Scriptaculous first.  And if you are using jx_compressed.js,  
that is just a copy of jx_combined.js that has been minified using  
jsmin (or any other minifier).

Cheers

Paul
