solrjs broken when used with Prototype library
----------------------------------------------

                 Key: SOLR-1403
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-1403
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 1.4
            Reporter: Geir Ove Grønmo


Using the Prototype javascript library in the same page as the SolrJS 
javascript library does not work. It triggers the following error:

stacktrace:   Line 303 of linked script 
http://localhost:8080/ontopoly/solr/solrjs-1.4-dev.js
                this.widgets[id].doRequest(query, start, resultsOnly);
  ...

The problem is that Prototype redefines the each function in the Array class. 
And that does not work with the for-in loop syntax in javascript.

The fix is to change the widgets and selectionViews arrays defined in 
jQuery.solrjs.Manager from arrays to proper associative arrays:

  widgets : {},
  ...
  selectionViews : {},

>From what I can see these two properties are supposed to be proper associative 
>arrays anyway, and not arrays with string keys.
