Hello everybody,

I’m newbie to rails application.

I like to use [script.aculos.us](http://script.aculos.us) script in my app.

I faced the following problem.

1. first i creat my application.
2. Then I copied the files

scriptaculous.js, builder.js, effects.js, dragdrop.js, controls.js and  
slider.js  
and prototype.js

into my app/public/javascripts/

1. Then included the \<%= javascript\_include\_tag :defaults %\> code into  
head section of my view file.

2. Then executed the code

drag
\<%= javascript\_tag "new Draggable('dragDIV')" %\>
helper
\<%= draggable\_element :helperDIV %\>

But now I can’t drag it. Whats the wrong I did. Can anyone suggest me.

Or is there any code to check whether the javascripts are included  
correctly or not.

Regards,  
Veeraa

Here’s the rails and prototype/scriptaculous lists (the 2nd is quite  
active):

View the source of the page and look at the headers to see what you  
get when you ask for :defaults. Is everything you expect to see  
actually there?
