Hi, I’m learning jQuery and I was trying to use two jQuery plugins in a site, but couln’t make them work both. I can use one, or the other.
I wanted to add to my site the MagicLine Navigation (https://css-tricks.com/examples/MagicLine/) to my site and an accordion widget which I took from the jQuery UI site (http://jqueryui.com/demos/accordion/). I first set the magicline and it worked perfectly. Then I add the accordion to the site, and it didn’t worked, so I thought I was setting the accordion in a wrong way, but when I removed the MagicLine, the accordion worked well.
As I said, I am just starting, I don’t know what I’m doing wrong…I tried to combine the two js files (the accordion and magicline) into one but I works only the one which is first…

What am I missing???

Thanks!!

its something in <script type=’text/javascript’ src=’js/magicLine.js’></script>

I created my own to see what was going on. Once I added that file accordion quit working.

However, when i placed accordion and the magicline in the same script they both worked (note- I have this in the header not a different file):

Code:

<script>
$(function()
{
$("#accordion").accordion();

var $el, leftPos, newWidth,
$mainNav = $("#example-one"),
$mainNav2 = $("#example-two");

/*
EXAMPLE ONE
*/
$mainNav.append("<li id=’magic-line’></li>");

var $magicLine = $("#magic-line");

$magicLine
.width($(".current_page_item").width())
.css("left", $(".current_page_item a").position().left)
.data("origLeft", $magicLine.position().left)
.data("origWidth", $magicLine.width());

$("#example-one li").find("a").hover(function() {
$el = $(this);
leftPos = $el.position().left;
newWidth = $el.parent().width();

$magicLine.stop().animate({
left: leftPos,
width: newWidth
});
}, function() {
$magicLine.stop().animate({
left: $magicLine.data("origLeft"),
width: $magicLine.data("origWidth")
});
});

/*
EXAMPLE TWO
*/
$mainNav2.append("<li id=’magic-line-two’></li>");

var $magicLineTwo = $("#magic-line-two");

$magicLineTwo
.width($(".current_page_item_two").width())
.height($mainNav2.height())
.css("left", $(".current_page_item_two a").position().left)
.data("origLeft", $(".current_page_item_two a").position().left)
.data("origWidth", $magicLineTwo.width())
.data("origColor", $(".current_page_item_two a").attr("rel"));

$("#example-two li").find("a").hover(function() {
$el = $(this);
leftPos = $el.position().left;
newWidth = $el.parent().width();
$magicLineTwo.stop().animate({
left: leftPos,
width: newWidth,
backgroundColor: $el.attr("rel")
})
}, function() {
$magicLineTwo.stop().animate({
left: $magicLineTwo.data("origLeft"),
width: $magicLineTwo.data("origWidth"),
backgroundColor: $magicLineTwo.data("origColor")
});
});
});
</script>

Make it work how you told me! I changed the code of the magicLine.js with the code you posted. I would like to know WHY it didn’t worked previously. Someone suggested that both files where trying to use the same function name. As I said I’m a newbie so can someone explain me what happened??
Thanks!!
