Should one even do that? Is Scriptaculous sufficiently outdated that we should replace usage of it? Is jQuery ui stuff outdated? If so, what ought we use?
I'm certainly not up to date enough on web frameworks etc to have a serious opinion so all advice welcomed.
My specific example here is the HPI tutorial, where scriptaculous code is used to make the to-do task editor pop up as a floating dialog. Whilst puzzling through some problems (ie the tutorial seems to omit adding the pt & su libraries, so lots didn't work) I noticed the jQuery related lightbox methods. So far as I can make out there is quite a difference in how to use the two approaches, with the jQuery apparently needing to be rendered into the containing page up front.

"#define QUESTION ((bb) || !(bb)) - Shakespeare."
I've been trying to follow (and update) the HPI seaside tutorial, during which I noticed some odd things happening in the jQuery UI functional test suite. The ajax.googleapis.com theme stuff wasn't loading. At first I thought it might be a bad URL because of a newer version but soon discovered that I couldn't get to the site at all in any browser or command.
Some googling suggested it might be getting blocked by my PiHole DNS ad-blocker (no idea why that would get blocklisted) and adding it to the whitelist made it all start working.
Now I have to work out how to convert the old scriptaculous stuff in the tutorial to jquery.
