title: jQuery & Prototype Conflict
body: <p>I am using the jQuery AutoComplete plugin in an html page where I also have an accordion menu which uses prototype.</p>
  
  <p>They both work perfectly separately but when I tried to implement both components in a single page I get an error that I have not been able to understand.</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code:
    0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIDOMViewCSS.getComputedStyle]"
    nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)" location: "JS frame ::
    file:///C:/Documents and
    Settings/Administrator/Desktop/website/js/jquery-1.2.6.pack.js ::
    anonymous :: line 11" data: no]</p>

  <p>I found out the file conflicting with jQuery is 'effects.js' which is used by the accordion menu. I tried replacing this file with a newer version but newer seems to break the accordion behavior. </p>
  
  <p>My guess is that the 'effects.js' file used in the accordion was modified to obtain the accordion demo output. I also tried using the overriding methods jQuery needs to avoid conflict with other libraries and that did not work.</p>
  
  <p>I obtained the accordion demo from <a href="http://www.stickmanlabs.com/accordion/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">stickmanlabs.com</a>.</p>
  
  <p>And the jQuery AutoComplete can be obtained from <a href="http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Autocomplete#Setup" rel="nofollow noreferrer">jQuery site</a>.</p>
  
  <p>Has any one else experienced this issue?</p>
