Smarty

I am running the Superfish menu and trying to get the following jquery code to work with Smarty. It appears the code is having a problem with the $. Below is the code

Since you put it in a {literal}{/literal} block it seems to be no Smarty related issue.

I believe the issue is with the $ I change the code to

More info

I call Superfish using the basic code below but it will not work
$(document).ready(function(){
$("ul.sf-menu").superfish({
pathClass: 'current'
});
});

I changed the code to the following and it appears to call the code.
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
$("ul.sf-menu").superfish({
pathClass: 'current'
});
});

But I get the following error
this.cloneNode is not a function
[Break on this error] return this.cloneNode(true);});var clone=ret.find("*").andSelf().each(function()...

I beleive the issue is with the $. I tested this with the following.
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
alert('test')
});
});
and the alert is displayed. If I change the JQuery back to a $ it will not work.

Any ideas or other ways to initiate the Superfish code.[/code]

do you use different javascript like prototyp ..
most of them use $ which get conflict with jquery.

do the following

var $jQ = jQuery;
$jQ(document).ready(function(){
$jQ("ul.sf-menu").superfish({
pathClass: 'current'
});
});

and read the following site:

Thanks

I also found the document you reference and made the changes but now I get another error. It works when I do not use smarty. I have identical code in my smarty site and my non-smarty site.

this.cloneNode is not a function
[Break on this error] return this.cloneNode(true);});var clone=ret.find("*").andSelf().each(function()...

it is not related with smarty, it is related with javascript.

and it may still the same problem. try to look at the implementation of the Superfish plugin.
most plugin start with:

(function($) {
// plugin code here, use $ as much as you like
})(jQuery);

Okay. The superfish.js uses function($). Do I need to replace the $ with $jQ as well?

Forget my last question. I have been working on this so long I am brain dead and not think properly.

BTW I have narrowed it down to something with prototype.js is interfering with the jquery.min.js.

Any idea?

Figured it out. my jsquery.mim.js was interfering with the effect.js file from scriptulaous. I upgraded to the latest version and the problem is fixed.
