Maybe this thread could be of help. Otherwise you could use a jquery based lightbox clone like slimbox2 or fancybox to avoid the conflict.

colorbox is another good jquery plugin.

I would recommend using a jquery lightbox over trying to solve the conflicts in this case - unless there's something that absolutely depends on prototype/scriptaculous, you'll drastically reduce the amount of scripts you need to load by using only one library.

(Also, all of the scripts you mention are "javascript." jQuery is a javascript function library, just like prototype is. They're not different scripting languages.)

I finally got it working. from an old thread from john. he said I should change the $ of my setup files to jquery and to update my jquery file to 1.6.x. after that it worked. but I discovered two things first after getting my page to load properly, I decided to do a little tweaking. I removed the jquery.noscript and it still worked. secondly I also used my old jquery script (1.4.x) it also worked. I now realize that what really did the magic is changing the $ sign of my setup files to jquery.

thanks and hope this helps someone.
