Really want to use jquery in my rails project, but does not work as per docs.

Really want to use jquery in my rails project, but does not work as per docs.

I am using Rails, Prototype, and Scriptalicious. I want to add jQuery support to my app, so I downloaded and included all of the proper js. I added PrettyPhoto as a test. The page loads fine. I click on a link and Prettyphoto runs with no error. I then click on a Prototype helper link. Once I do that the first time, PrettyPhoto (and I assume ANY jQuery constructs) stop working. I have tried:

jRails
Noconflict
reordering the order of the load of the js files

Nothing works: either the prototype breaks or the jquery breaks. I don't know what to do. someone must have seen this before. How can I fix this?

Thanks...Chris
