Can't use the last version of jQuery - menu and ajax don't w

[vladimir.kovalyuk]

When I try to use jquery autogrow plugin all the active richfaces components stop to work.

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"
 src="${facesContext.externalContext.requestContextPath}/jquery.js"/>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"
 src="${facesContext.externalContext.requestContextPath}/secure/jquery.autogrow.js" />
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
 jQuery(document).ready(function(){
 jQuery('textarea.autogrow').autogrow();
 });
</script>

What is the cause and how to fix that?

Hello Vladimir,

jQuery overrides Prototype.js '$' function, that's why most of components stopped to work. I recommend to use version of jQuery that comes with RichFaces. It has been patched to support garbage collection after AJAX updates, while original doesn't do that.
Use

<a4j:loadScript src="resource:///org/richfaces/renderkit/html/scripts/jquery/jquery.js" />

to add it to the page.

I will try to apply autogrow plugin with jQuery function instead of $.

Anyway I would recommend pushing jQuery authors to fix GC or provide you with a pluggable solution to allow us to work with the latest version of jQuery.

Nikalai,

thanks for the suggestion and hint about $.

It turned out that http://plugins.jquery.com/project/autogrow has one reference to $. I replaced it with jQuery and plugin started to work.

Please leave jQuery version in patched jquery.js file.
