Question

Asp.net September 2012 Release ajax toolkit combobox is read only when using jquery. Any idea on how to avoid conflicts between jquery and ajax toolkit

Answer 1

When you have other libraries together with jQuery you can use the jQuery.noConflict() function to avoid the conflicts with the common symbols like the $

Sample from jQuery page and how you use the noConflict():

<script type="text/javascript" src="other_lib.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
  $.noConflict();
  jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
    // Code that uses jQuery's $ can follow here.
  });
  // Code that uses other library's $ can follow here.
</script>

The idea is that after you call the $.noConflict(); then all rest call to jQuery libraries are done using the jQuery and not the $ symbol as on the example above.
