Problem with Rico.js/Prototype.js (AJAX)

Hello,

in one of my web pages, which is actually an internal mail system, I'm using these libraries because I need to use AJAX to update a couple of fields (not the CKEditor instance, though).

AJAX lets me dynamically load the content of a <SELECT MULTIPLE ...> based on the choice made in a <SELECT> drop-down list.

Before upgrading to CKEditor, we used FCKeditor, but it was not compatible with Google Chrome, and that's the point of my job, to make our web application fully compatible with Chrome AND IE.
The thing is, FCKeditor used to work perfectly, but CKEditor won't work when I include both Rico.js and Prototype.js at the same time. I am also getting multiple errors from the JavaScript consoles :

Internet Explorer :

SCRIPT438: Object doesn't support this property or method "replace"
ckeditor.js?t=B1GG4Z6, line 114 character 371

Shameless Self-BUMP

I really need to get this done, I can't believe no one has an answer for this!

Can you provide a simple testcase?

Re: Problem with Rico.js/Prototype.js (AJAX)

I made a simple PHP file that will reproduce my problem :

<?php
   include("./ckeditor/ckeditor.php");           //Version : CKEditor 3.5.2
?>

<HTML>
   <HEAD>
      <?php
         //If I include BOTH of the 2 JavaScript files, the CKEditor instance just won't work, but it will if I don't.
         //If I comment these two lines, the CKEditor will apprear and work. /*
         echo "<script type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"".$conf["baseURL"]."include/ajax/prototype.js\"></script>" //Version : Prototype.js 1.4.0_rc1
              ."<script type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"".$conf["baseURL"]."include/ajax/rico.js\"></script>";     //Version : Rico.js 1.1rc1
         // */
      ?>
   </HEAD>
   <BODY>
      <h1>Oh hi there, you.</h1>

      <div style="background-color:abf;border:1px solid gray;">
         <?php
            $oCKEditor = new CKEditor();
            $oCKEditor->editor('myEditorInstance1', 'The text in the CKEditor instance that won\'t appear anyway.');
         ?>
      </div>

      <p>Text after the CKEditor Instance.</p>
   </BODY>
</HTML>

Here you go

That's not a simple testcase, I would need to setup a PHP server and then find out where to download those libraries.
Can you upload it to a public server to make it easier to test it?

I'm sorry, I forgot that it would be complicated for you to test this.

The least I can do is upload my test case, since I don't have a public server to test on.
(I couldn't attach it to this post, because it exceeds the file size limit)

I use EasyPHP which turns my PC into a local Apache and MySQL server, it is really easy to setup and
very useful for any Windows-based PHP developper out there.

Also, here is the code (easier to read) and the result :

Also, thanks for taking the time to reply in this thread!
