Adding jQuery to your project is indeed a simple task, download the jQuery file, add the script line and code that you wish to use and upload, but what happens when another library such as Prototype or Mootools has been used already?
jQuery fails.
So how do we fix this?
There are various solutions such as jQuery.noconflict() before any jQuery code etc.
However, the by far easiest fix is to include the jQuery file before any other library.
This allows us to then reference any jQuery functions using jQuery instead of $.
For example
$("div-id").hide();
becomes
jQuery("div-id").hide();
You can even assign jQuery to a variable of your own choice using:
var $variable = jQuery;
$variable("div-id").hide();
See the jQuery website for more information.
