Question

How do I change the $ function in jquery for another word for make it compatible with other framworks

Answer 1

It's only an alias for jQuery - if $ causes you problems, use jQuery instead.

Answer 2

jQuery.noConflict();

http://docs.jquery.com/Using_jQuery_with_Other_Libraries

Answer 3

This will un-assign the $ variable

jQuery.noConflict();

But even more useful is being able to reassign the jQuery object to another terse variable, such as

var $j = jQuery.noConflict();

Of course you can make $j anything you want.

Answer 4

You can use the noConflict() method like so:

var myjquery = jQuery.noConflict(true);
myjquery(document).ready( function() {
    // The usual...
} );

Answer 5

use jQuery.noConflict();

if you still want to use the $ shorthand in your jQuery code then you can use a self-invoking anonymous function to do so

(function($) {

    // $ is shorthand for jQuery inside this function :)

})(jQuery);

Answer 6

or you can use closure, this way:

jQuery(document).ready(function($){
 $('div') //use regular $
})

However... WHY? Why do you want to load more than once library?
