Rails spinoffs - Jun 2006 - Including scriptaculous.js causes page to "hang"

When I say hang, I mean the browsers spinner keeps spinning and  
Firefox''s info bar at the bottom says "Transfering data from
...... "

I''m just including the js like this:

<script src="/js/prototype.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/js/scriptaculous.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>

which I cribbed from the demo pages anyway.

If I remove the 2nd line, and just have prototype loaded, the page  
loads Ok.

I''m only interested in the Blind[Up|Down] functions, so I''ve
also
tried :

<script src="/js/scriptaculous.js?load=effects" type="text/ 
javascript"></script>

but the same thing happens.

I''m using  v1.6.1 of scriptaculous, and the prototype version that  
comes with that.


-S

All of the other scriptaculous files are in the same folder?
(effects.js, etc, etc)

If so, I can''t fathom what the problem is.  Try just including
/js/effects.js instead of scriptaculous.js.

Yes, all the files, including prototype are in the same directory. They
are the only files in there too. Permissions are correct so the web
server can read them.

Including just effects.js allows the page to load, and that seems to
have sorted it, I can now use the Effect effects ...

Does scriptaculous go into some kind of endless loop I wonder?

I''ve had problems like this when importing some rich text editor  
libraries after scriptaculous.  TinyMCE, in particular would cause  
browsers to hang unless it was imported before prototype/scriptaculous.
