  Old  Need to make a prototype/jquery mootools equivelant

Hey guys, I'm working on a new project where the old developers have created a really crazy environment, where they use both Prototype, jQuery and Mootools.

Now, I've only ever really used Mootools, and we plan to migrate all of the old javascript into Mootools eventually, but until then, as most of you probably know, Mootools and Prototype can't exist together.

So until we can convert any existing prototype/jQuery into Mootools code, I need to create a double code base for a new header we're implementing into the site.

You can see an example of the header I'm talking about here:
http://ra.cm/slide/

Basically, I need to replicate the functionality in either jQuery or Prototype (preferably Prototype, because we're going to be removing that first, as jQuery can still exist happily with Mootools)

I've tried using Scriptaculous to work with this using both SlideUp/Down and BlindUp/Down, both of these seem to be completely crap.

So any help you can provide would be extremely appreciated.

jQuery and Mootools are large projects which have been maintained by an experienced team of programmers for years now. If you are asking for pointers on a forum it is technically beyond you. Get a large team and you might be able to do it in a few years. You will be able to port your code to what you need a hundred times before you are able to create a replica.

Wait.. what? I'm not trying to replicate mootools or jquery.. I'm trying to replicate functionality I built with Mootools into Prototype or Jquery.

I'm not sure how you got that from what I wrote..

What I got from your message was that you want to remake something with the functionality of both so you can keep your script the same. Crazy as it sounds its not the craziest question I've been asked; not by a longshot. I'm on my iPhone now so I can't provide much specific help, when I'm back at my desk tonight I'll see what I can do.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

I only use jQuery so thats where most of my knowledge is, but they both have enormous amounts of plugins for this sort of things. I've never used it so I can't attest to its quality, but this jQuery script seems to be very close to what you need functionality wise: http://www.webdesigndev.com/web-deve...u-you-ever-saw (demo)

If that one doesn't work here is a list of 38 (jQuery) dropdown scripts: http://www.1stwebdesigner.com/css/38...enu-solutions/

Thanks very much for the link, it made things pretty easy to work with. I also found a guide that shows a lot of differences between mootools and jQuery that helped ease the integration.

You can see the differences at:
Mootools - http://ra.cm/slide/admin.php
jQuery - http://ra.cm/slide/jquery.php

The only issue I'm having up to this point is keeping the hover delay that I have in mootools (so it doesn't instantly start sliding, they have to remain focused on it for 400ms. Any recommendations to accomplish this with the code I have currently?

Use this, this is once again something I've never used but it seems to do what you need: http://cherne.net/brian/resources/jq...verIntent.html.

ps. I found this by googling the term "jquery this.hover delay"
