Question

I assume this script calls itself everytime with the .call(this) function which explains why I don’t have to call it explicitly from the page HTML. Is this correct?

Can it be modified to run in noconflict mode?

Answer 1

Essentially .noConflict() un-defines $. This means calls like

$.ajax(...);
$("a").some_func(...);

have to be changed to:

jQuery.ajax(...);
jQuery("a").some_func(...);

and so on. Modify the script as such and it should work fine.
