Conflict with prototype javascript

Question

I have javascript calendar appears when the user click on a text box and I must call the prototype.js from the following link in-order to allow the calendar to work https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/prototype/1.7.1.0/prototype.js

The calendar works fine but I found that all the other javascripts in my page stopped working!

Any suggestions?

"all the other javascripts in my page stopped working" - is there a particular code snippet you can share that stopped working? Perhaps there is a conflict with prototype? — Krease

need more details about calandar..what library does it use? Create catalog of all script tags used in page. We have no idea what you are using and whether adding prototype caused problem, or adding something else caused problem — charlietfl

It can be when you want to use two and more different libraries on one page. In that case the libraries goes in conflict, when the same function names exist in all libs at the same scope. In this cases the last function implementation will be used.

For example, you implement some function fn() in the global scope and after that implementation you insert some library that also implement the function fn() in the same scope. The second function reimplement the first and by each call of the fn() the browser will use the second implementation instead of your.
