jQuery Usage Guidelines

[Administrator]

Do you have any guidelines for using jQuery with Syncfusion controls? Proper usage or version conflicts? I have a page that as soon as we add the Syncfusion RTE I get a JS error: Object doesn't support this property or method. Remove the RTE and it works again.

Basically, there are a couple of text boxes that use the jQuery UI DatePicker.

Using jQuery 1.4.2 and jQueryUI 1.8.1

$(function () {$(".datePicker").datepicker();});

Viewing via Firefox I was able to find the actual problem.

$(".datePicker").datepicker is not a function

Moving the jQueryUI script reference to the bottom of the page (or after the RTE) resolves the issue.

Seems like the RTE is also loading a version of the jQuery core that is overwriting the functions added by the jQueryUI?

Anyway, I moved the script references back to the head and changed the code in the HEAD to be:

Hi Robert,

Thanks for contacting syncfusion forum.

We are using Jquery 8.1 version in our source and we have tried your requirement of using both JQueryUIDatePicker and RichTextEditor control in versions specified by you and it works fine in our end. We attached the sample and please try the sample which is available in the following link,
DatePicker-1181882449.zip


If the issue exists still, could you please modify the attached sample and share with us to isolate this issue in our end.

Also, when there are two different versions of jQuery is used conflict may occurs and it can be resolved by using jQuery.conflict() as you specified.
