I have installed jrails and I was sure I don’t have to change any thing  
in my design that used prototype.js .  
I am using sortable\_element in my design and it stopped working after  
installing jrails. I was sure and I quote:  
“jRails is a drop-in jQuery replacement for Prototype/script.aculo.us on  
Rails”

can any one share some light on this?  
Thanks

Sounds to me like a question for the JRails discussion board:
