How many Deprecated JavaScript (MooTools / jQuery) issues are in this guide?

This guide covers 18 catalog entries with before/after replacements.

Joomla Deprecated JavaScript (MooTools / jQuery) changes: Joomla 3 → 4, 5 and 6

18 issues in this guide

JavaScript breaks are usually "$ is not defined" or silent UI deadness after MooTools and forced jQuery loads disappear. This guide groups 18 entries: JHtml::_('behavior.calendar'), JHtml::_('behavior.caption'), JHtml::_('behavior.formvalidation'), JHtml::_('behavior.framework'), JHtml::_('behavior.keepalive'), JHtml::_('behavior.tooltip'), JHtml::_('bootstrap.framework'), JHtmlBootstrap::modal(), JHtml::_('formbehavior.chosen'), JHtml::_('jquery.framework'), and 8 more. The replacement pattern is Web Asset Manager assets (keepalive, form.validate, bootstrap, calendar), vanilla JS or explicitly declared jQuery only when required, Choices/Tom Select instead of Chosen, and Text::script() with Joomla.Text._ for translated strings. Stop loading media/jui/js/jquery.min.js by path. Hop mix: 12 at Joomla 3 → 4; 6 at Joomla 5 → 6. These are mostly Joomla 3 → 4 removals; a few HTMLHelper renames linger as aliases. Fix PHP JHtml::_('behavior.*') calls and the front-end scripts together so you do not leave captions and tooltips half-migrated. Every anchor below is drawn from the catalog's detected code and recommended replacement. Catalog replacements in this guide include JHtml::_('behavior.calendar') → HTMLHelper::_('calendar') + WAM assets; JHtml::_('behavior.caption') → CSS / figure captions — MooTools captions are gone; JHtml::_('behavior.formvalidation') → form.validate WebAsset; JHtml::_('behavior.framework') → Do not load MooTools — use vanilla JS or WebAssetManager. Open each h2 anchor for the full before/after, fix list, and error strings shipped in the reference data.
