Hi stoledo,

Your template (or some other component) is loading the jQuery JavaScript library.

Out of the box jQuery isn't compatible with the MooTools library used by Joomla! and ChronoForms. You can use jQuery with MooTools in no-conflict mode. There are various ways of doing this. The simplest - which may or may not work - is to add a line of script in the ChronoForms Form JavaScript box:

jQuery.noConflict();

This will free the $ operator which is used by MooTools, so you may need to update your own javascripts to use the longer jQuery operator.

There is also a neat plugin named JB Library from Joomla! Bamboo and another named InterExt from AcuIT that allow you to control on which pages jQuery is loaded, and will always load it in no-conflict mode. However these requires that JQuery is loaded using the Joomla Document object methods. The InterExt extension allows you to select menu items to load JQuery.

I have a tutorial on Resolving jQuery problems that explores some of the issues an diagnostics and shows how to modify one template example to use the Joomla! Document methods to load JQuery in noConflict mode.
