jQuery and MooTools Conflict

Question

Okay, so I got jQuery to get along with MooTools with one script, by adding this at the top of the jQuery script:

var $j = jQuery.noConflict();

and then replacing every:

$(

with

$j(

But how would you get MooTools to like the following script that using jQuery??

Thanks in advance for any input,

Answer 1

When you have jQuery specific code that is using $, the simplest way is to wrap the code with the following:

// Disable the $ global alias completely
jQuery.noConflict();

// For jQuery scripts
(function($){

// set a local $ variable only available in this block as an alias to jQuery
... here is your jQuery specific code ...

})(jQuery);

// For Mootols scripts
(function($){

// set a local $ variable only available in this block as an alias 
// to Mootools document.id
... here is your Mootools specific code ...

})(document.id);

See the second example on noConflict documentation.

I don't know about a compatibility mode provided by MooTools, but an easy way should be to replace all occurrences of $( in the script by $j( or jQuery(.
