    Hello smiley

    I recently used 9.6.1 for a new site. All my other sites are running 9.5

    I noticed in the default template for 9.6.1 there is no reference in the header to:

    <script src="[(base_url)]manager/media/script/scriptaculous/prototype.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src="[(base_url)]manager/media/script/scriptaculous/scriptaculous.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

    Are these no longer necessary for 9.6.1?

    What is now necessary that needs to be in the template header?

    Regards,

    Ken Roberts

      Most of the default content has been converted to use mootools rather than scriptaculous and prototype. There is no requirement for any of these things to be in your front-end pages, though certain add-ons like QuickEdit will automatically insert what it needs (i.e. you’ll need to watch out for conflicts with such tools).

        I think the DocManager Module may still uses prototype, but have not verified this.

          But (to avoid any confusion) this does not in any way affect scripts being generated into front-end web pages you create with MODx.
