Thanx for this explanation, Adam! I just set clientValidation to false for my form, however, the js files are added to body. Is it somehow possible to tell T5 not to add these libraries (or scriptaculous.js) to the body?
Otherwise, as a very ugly hack, it should be possible to replace the js files by empty ones, as long as we're using none of them... What do I have to add to the configuration in contributeApplicationDefaults to specify the "js/empty/scriptaculous.js"? Or where do I find documentation concerning this question? Thanx a lot, cheers, Martin On Mon, 2007-06-11 at 01:39 -0700, Adam Ayres wrote: > >From what I can tell only the Form component uses prototype and > scriptaculous when the clientValidation parameter is set to true (which > is the default).
