jQuery in jBoss portal - problem with a simple tabbed pane

[stgarp]

Hi,

I want to use jQuery in a simple portlet. The page works fine standalone (use jQuery tabbed pane), but when I deploy it inside a portlet (using the jboss-portlet;µxml file to include the js in the header), it produces javascript error and I'm not able to correct it.

Did you experienced this kind of trouble ? Must I put the js directly in the header of the portal modifying the layout ?

Sorry; hard to diagnose a fairly generic problem like that.

I'd recommend using a JavaScript debugging tool (like FireBug for FireFox) to look at the details of the error your receiving.

Are you using a custom theme? If so, you may want to just include the jQuery libraries in the theme definition.

Do you use the jQuery "$"-operator inside your custom javascript-code? If so, there is a confict with the jboss prototype library. Simply put this line in front of your custom code:

jQuery.noConflict();

and then replace all "$" by "jQuery"
