I haven’t been able to find any recent threads on the compatibility between jquery and prototype and I was wondering if anyone knows anything about this. In a screencast I watched, it was mentioned that there is now a compatibility layer that exists, but I haven’t been able to find any documentation on that. ---

Jrails is a plugin for Rails, and jquery has a new “nice mode” to play nice with Prototype. See here: > **[The jSkinny on jQuery — err.the\_blog](http://errtheblog.com/posts/73-the-jskinny-on-jquery)** > > Err the Blog: Ruby and Rails from the front. J Deville ---

Jquery is compatible with prototype by using jQuery.noConflict() in your javascript file (application.js).
