Jquery Isolation

Question

My company has a web application that has a plain javascript in it, and it use $ -"dollar symbol" in it's own way as shown:

function $(e) {
    return document.getElementById(e);
}

The problem is when I embed the jquery to the page there is a conflict occurs. Is there a way that I can isolate the jquery example:

$$(this) - is to call jquery and $(this) - to call old staff

please help me thank you

Answer 1

Just make sure you include your lib first, then call

$.noConflict();
var $$ = jQuery;

That will restore $ to what it used to be before jQuery was parsed and make $$ point to jQuery http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.noConflict/
