Rails spinoffs - May 2008 - prototype causing value undefined error

I have a project for which I used a Wicket template as a starting
point. The original example uses prototype.js.

I''m using an SVG image as a background and have included a javascript
that causes the image to always fill the background, regardless of the
client window dimensions.

This works fine in Safari 3 (Firefox doesn''t display the background
image, but I''ll deal with that some other time), but all browsers
exhibit the same behavior.

If I include prototype.js, I get a "value undefined" error re: the
inline resizing script:

TypeError: Value undefined (result of expression $(document).ready) is
not object.

The error points to the last line of the inline script, });. This is
line 35 in page.html. At this point, the image is simply displayed at
it''s native size and does not resize

If I comment out prototype, there is no error and the resize works as
expected.

I''ve uploaded a zip of a tiny example to demonstrate the problem. You
can grab it at...

Any help or pointers would be appreciated.

Uncomment the prototype.js line in page.html to generate the error. I
forgot to mention that.

$(document).ready() is a jQuery function that is likely getting overwritten
by Prototype.  You''ll need to use jQuery''s no conflict mode if
you want both
libraries to play nice together.

Ken,

Thanks for the help. That was it. The information from the URL you  
provided gave me the workaround.

Now, I just need to figure out why Firefox doesn''t render the image.

Thanks again,
