Hello all,

recently I installed the jrails plugin which changed the  
javascript\_include\_tag :defaults to include the jquery libraries…

The jquery did no good, so I want the prototype back, but i can’t manage  
to  
get the :defaults to include its libraries to me…

any tips on that are greatly appreciated!!

thanks and cheers!

Remove the vendor/plugin/jrails directory and remove the jquery  
scripts in public/javascripts/

That should be all you need todo…
