On my page-front.tpl.php I have a slideshow running that requires mootools.js. This is the only page that AJAX is not working in my navigation block. Is there something that I can do to figure out why it wouldn't be working?

It's hard to respond to such a generic request. Please provide more info.

My apologies... sometimes in order to get a response you need to be brief.

I am using a slideshow tool called Smooth Gallery 2.0.

Like I said, the magic_tabs work great on all of my pages except for my front page, which is using the page-front.tpl.php file. One of the JS files that I am including is a mootools.js, so I'm wondering if there's something that can be done to make them play well together.

Thanks.

Well, it seems that mootools and jquery do conflict (unrelated to magic tabs).

It seems that you can make this work, but it requires editing you JS files, and is a general PITA. Please consider using a jquery plugin with similar functionality over smooth gallery.

check http://drupal.org/node/121631, and http://drupal.org/node/162346 for explanation how to get this working. I guess you will need to edit magic_tabs.module - the part the generates the Javascript code.

I hear ya. Makes sense that they would be conflicting. If I had more time at the moment then I would look into this. Since the issue is only on the front page I may just leave it be for now. It may be something that I look into down the road though.

How would I start to find a "jquery plugin with similar functionality?"

Sorry, can't help you here. Maybe try #jquery on freenode, or just your favorite search engine.

Please update here if you ever get this to work so others can benefit as well!

In about a month when I have some time I will look into this. I'll check the IRC and Google then. I'll be sure and post the results here.

Thanks!
