I have two scripts running on the same page, one is the jQuery.hSlides.js script http://www.jesuscarrera.info/demos/hslides/ and the other is a custom script that is used for MailChimp list signup integration. The hSlides panel can be seen in effect here: http://theatricalbellydance.com. I’ve turned off the MailChimp script because it was conflicting with the hSlides script, causing it not to to fail completely (as seen here http://theatricalbellydance.com/home2/). Can someone tell me what could be done to the hSlides script to stop the conflict with the MailChimp script?

*
* hSlides is an horizontal accordion navigation, sliding the panels around to reveal one of interest.
*
* Sample Configuration:
* // this is the minimum configuration needed
* $('#accordion').hSlides({
* totalWidth: 730,
* totalHeight: 140,
* minPanelWidth: 87,
* maxPanelWidth: 425
* });
*
* Config Options:
* // Required configuration
* totalWidth: Total width of the accordion // default: 0
* totalHeight: Total height of the accordion // default: 0
* minPanelWidth: Minimum width of the panel (closed) // default: 0
* maxPanelWidth: Maximum width of the panel (opened) // default: 0
* // Optional configuration
* midPanelWidth: Middle width of the panel (centered) // default: 0
* speed: Speed for the animation // default: 500
* easing: Easing effect for the animation. Other than 'swing' or 'linear' must be provided by plugin // default: 'swing'
* sensitivity: Sensitivity threshold (must be 1 or higher) // default: 3
* interval: Milliseconds for onMouseOver polling interval // default: 100
* timeout: Milliseconds delay before onMouseOut // default: 300
* eventHandler: Event to open panels: click or hover. For the hover option requires hoverIntent plugin <http://cherne.net/brian/resources/jquery.hoverIntent.html> // default: 'click'
* panelSelector: HTML element storing the panels // default: 'li'
* activeClass: CSS class for the active panel // default: none
* panelPositioning: Accordion panelPositioning: top -> first panel on the bottom and next on the top, other value -> first panel on the top and next to the bottom // default: 'top'
* // Callback functions. Inside them, we can refer the panel with $(this).
* onEnter: Function raised when the panel is activated. // default: none
* onLeave: Function raised when the panel is deactivated. // default: none
*
* We can override the defaults with:
* $.fn.hSlides.defaults.easing = 'easeOutCubic';
*
* @param settings An object with configuration options

The $ is no longer assigned to jQuery. I don’t see what other library is using the $ however? What happens when you change
var mce_jQuery = jQuery.noConflict();to
var mce_jQuery = jQuery;Maybe it is just that I am not finding the library that is using the $ that required the call to noConflict.
**Edit:**Try reassigning the $ back to jQuery before your script runs.
