Jquery: Shadowbox + Niceforms Compatability issue - Beginner

[david_beirne]

Hi All,

I am new to Javascript and have been trying to implement two different types of plugins together on a webpage, one that uses Shadowbox (http://www.shadowbox-js.com/) and the second that uses Niceforms (http://www.emblematiq.com/projects/niceforms/).

They both use Jquery Framework so i presumed there would be no compatability issu, the shadowbox works fine but Niceforms stops working, i tested both separate and they work fine.
I have narrow the issue down to these two files

It might be similar value been used? Any help would be great!!
Both pieces of Code are the ones causing issue:

Nice Forms

Shadowbox

Thanks

Yes, the suspicion is that one or more function and/or variable names has been duplicated. Beyond that it is hard to comment. I take it that you are calling the scripts in the proper manner - see http://www.javascriptkit.com/javatutors/multiplejava.shtml

Thanks for your Reply Phillip,

I am linking the Script files as external files:

<!--******************** Java ****************-->
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery/jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery/forms/niceforms.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery/videobox/shadowbox-base.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery/videobox/shadowbox.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery/videobox/shadowbox-custom.js"></script>

Do you suggest i go through all the functions / variables to find similarites or are the are java programs i could use to find conflicting variables /functions ?

I have looked at the "The solution" from most asked questions but i am unable to find the same function been called to add them to the body.onload

Thanks

Does your page throw any javascript errors? Is it online somewhere we could look at it?

Hey "SpudHead"

The Page is Valid Xhtml and CSS -
I am using firebug to check errors and got the following error:

niceforms[q].unload is not a function
NFDo("stop")niceforms.js (line 46)
NFFix()niceforms.js (line 52)
onresize()()niceforms.js (line 499)
[Break on this error] niceforms[q].unload();

Unfortunatly i am unable to show the page online due to privacy of the project, i have uploaded the two scripts on my previous post

Thanks for any help
