This guide helps you to use jQuery alongside other JavaScript libraries without conflicts using the jQuery.noConflict() method.

To avoid conflicts between jQuery and other libraries, you can use the jQuery.noConflict() method. This allows you to use jQuery without overriding the global `$` variable. Below is an example demonstrating how to safely use jQuery with another library like Prototype:

// Assuming both jQuery and Prototype are included in your project // First, call jQuery.noConflict() to relinquish the `$` variable var jQueryAlias = jQuery.noConflict(); // Now you can use jQuery with the alias jQueryAlias(document).ready(function() { jQueryAlias("button").click(function(){ alert("jQuery button clicked!"); }); }); // You can still use Prototype's $ function as normal $("someElement").update("Hello from Prototype!");
