Integrate script.aculo.us with WordPress

By Peter Backx | Published: January 6, 2008

I don’t know if you noticed, but if you click the little “nav” link on the left, the navigation menu disappears. If you click it again, it will reappear. This is done via a little JavaScript and the script.aculo.us library.

I have written a short tutorial on how to achieve this effect. It is intended for the real novice. Let me know if you like it and/or if you have any issues or suggestions.

If you liked this, why not share it with your friends?

      Too many forget to mention that Scriptaculous is already included in WordPress!!!
      All is need is an encue script function. Here’s the details. Please make people aware! (I’m so adament, because out of 10+ sources about scriptaculous and wordpress, only one person mentioned that and prototype are already included. *curses!*)

      You’re quite right. WordPress now comes with a host of JavaScript libraries that you can enqueue.
      3 years ago, when this article was written, things were a little different.
      In spite of the changes, I still think this is a good tutorial to get to know how to add your own custom JavaScript and how you might structure everything. It needs a little update though.
      I’ve been wanting to revive my web technology project, maybe I’ll start with this.

      Cool, thanks :-) Indeed, it is an important skill to learn, maybe apply the same skills/tutorial to another library? Thanks for making the world of binaries a better place!
