Using jQuery with Other Libraries - jQuery JavaScript Library

Posted by horuskol 492 days ago in Programming & Development (http://docs.jquery.com)
The jQuery library, and virtually all of its plugins are constrained within the jQuery namespace. As a general rule, "global" objects are stored inside the jQuery namespace as well, so you shouldn't get a clash between jQuery and any other library (like Prototype, MooTools, or YUI).

That said, there is one caveat: By default, jQuery uses "$" as a shortcut for "jQuery"



and $ is used as a utility/reference in other libraries, too
