Hi, what conflict you’re having in regards to jQuery and prototype?  
I’m  
guess that you’re talking  
about the use of $(…). Here’s a good post on a blog:

Good luck,

Thanx 2 both of u for a quick reply.  
My problem is if Both libraries included then only first library works.  
i.e. if i include prototype.js then jQuery.js then only prototype.js  
works.  
on change select list and toggle box which used jQuery.js doesn’t work.

I will include jquery first, than include prototype:

 \<%= javascript\_include\_tag "jquery" %\> \<%= javascript\_include\_tag "prototype" %\>

or You can write jQuery code by this way:
