Hi everyone.
I was not sure where to post this or if it is some type of bug.
I have seen the prototypejs javascript library and really like how it works. I was wondering if it is possible to use this in umbraco. When trying to add the javascript library i get a Failure[object Object]. So i am wondering if it is possible to use the prototypejs library in umbraco.
Thanks

Yes, you can use prototype, mootools, jquery... anything! I do this all the time. The Failure message is probably caused by lack of file permissions in the /scripts folder. Double-check that the folder and any files therein have the proper permissions according to the installation instructions. What you want to do is create a new .js file *through the umbraco ui* and paste the contents of your file into the umbraco editor, then save. In umbraco 4, you'll be able to work directly with the files on the filesystem or through the umbraco ui. For v3, you want to work within the ui. cheers, doug.

Doug,
Thank you very much for the quick reply. I went back and checked the settings for the /scripts folder and everything is set correctly there. I saw other version of prototype on the prototypejs site and found that anything newer than the 1.5.0 (January 18, 2007) version will give me the Failure[object Object] error. I am using umbraco version 3.0.3 and IE 7. I also created the .js file with the umbraco UI. If you have any other thoughts as to what is happening please let me know.
thanks again for the help and quick reply.

Do you get the error when saving the .js file from within Umbraco? Have you tried just copying the .js file directly into the /scripts folder by ftp or such?

Thank you mortenbock.
Not using the umbraco UI and just placing the .js file directly into the /scripts folder worked. I thought that might cause issues but it is working so far.
Thank you

Placing the file directly will work, but you may have issues if you later try to open/save it via the umbraco ui. For the prototype.js file, though, you probably won't ever need to do that. Glad it's working for you. cheers, doug.
