It should work across the board hans, I have done this method on 3 sites where i use Jquery and not Mootools (I don’t like the core tools used).

Heya mate,

I did what you did, but mootools refuses to go away, I allready tried the other article too. Doesnt this work for article pages or something?

Another faster way to remove the moo is to edit
Libraries/Joomla/Document/html/renderer/head.php
comment all it:
// Generate script file links
foreach ($document->_scripts as $strSrc => $strType) {
$strHtml .= $tab.”.$lnEnd;
}*/

but you are going to get javascript errors, use other plugin to hide or mask it.

Thanks 2estrellas for the heads up. I tested it, and haven’t had any issues, but agreed, it may disable scripts from plugins. Most plugins I use load their JS into the body (which isn’t the best method anyhow).

I have edited the code to include a fix, and a link to a plugin that does the same, but this is more for template developers.

Cheers again….

If you want to selectively delete only some ( eg. mootols) js files take a look at

Worked for me

WARNING:
It works perfect , so perfect that it disables ALL JAVASCRIPTS from the front-end (not only mootols but jQuery or ANY other javascript that has been installed as modules/plugin in joomla)
