[richfaces-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Resolved: (RF-1103) RF's menu.js nasty conflict with Thickbox' javascript

[Sergey Halipov (JIRA)]

     [ http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/RF-1103?page=all ]

Sergey Halipov resolved RF-1103.
--------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix

Thickbox script are based on jQuery library, but Richfaces are based on Prototype library. jQuery and Prototype don't work when both are installed together.
Try to add jQuery.noConflict(); JS code to your page at any point after jQuery and Prototype have both loaded. This dirty hack has helped me to make menu work.
