jQuery is XOOPS compatible if you follow these tips.

You can use jQuery library in your XOOPS theme, as usual, but if you just follow jQuery's official documentation, you won't be able to run it properly in all browsers.

There's an incompatibility between jQuery and XOOPS own javascript code, but it can be overriden.



To do so, you need to follow these steps:

1- include it in a way that does not depend on the path by using <{$xoops_url}>, like this:

<pre><script src="<{$xoops_url}>/jquery/jquery.js"></script></pre>

2- Don't use the $ function to execute jQuery. XOOPS has it's own $ function, use the original "jQuery". Like this:

<pre>jQuery(document).ready();</pre>

3- Include jQuery files before this line in your theme:

<pre><{$xoops_module_header}></pre>

As this line will load includes/xoops.js, wich has it's own definition of the $ function.
