The noConflict() method releases the hold on the $ shortcut identifier, so that other scripts can use it.
You can of course still use jQuery, simply by writing the full name instead of the shortcut:
$.noConflict();
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery("button").click(function(){
jQuery("p").text("jQuery is still working!");
});
});
You can also create your own shortcut very easily. The noConflict() method returns a reference to jQuery, that you can save in a variable, for later use. Here is an example:
var jq = $.noConflict();
jq(document).ready(function(){
jq("button").click(function(){
jq("p").text("jQuery is still working!");
});
});
