I have used Ajax link and live validation in index.rhtml  
Ajax link requires JavaScript “prototype” and live validation requires  
“jquery”.  
i got “element.dispatchEvent is not a function” on the firebug console  
when i used “prototype” and “jquery” in same page index.rhtml  
after i removed javascript “prototype” library, i got “Ajax is not  
defined” on the firebug console when i clicking ajax link.  
how can i use both ajax and jquery in the same page?  
Can anybody give me a solution for this?

For example:

\<%=javascript\_include\_tag “prototype”%\>  
\<%=javascript\_include\_tag “jquery”%\>  
\<%= javascript\_include\_tag ‘livevalidation/jquery.validate’ %\>  
\<%= javascript\_include\_tag ‘livevalidation/jquery.validation.functions’  
%\>  
\<%= stylesheet\_link\_tag ‘livevalidation/jquery.validate’ %\>  
\<%= stylesheet\_link\_tag ‘livevalidation/style’ %\>

\<%=link\_to\_remote “new user”,:url=\>{:action=\>:a},:update=\>“div”%\>

\<% form\_for(@user) do |f| %\> 

\<%= f.label :name %\>  
 \<%= f.text\_field :name %\>

\<%= f.submit "Register"%\>

\<% end %\>

Try using the noConflict setting
