I just cannot work this out. My god it’s making my brain hurt, so I turn to you, the good people of the internet.

I’ve been staring at the documentation for the jQuery $.noConflict() function with no luck.

My issue is that the site I’m working on already includes jQuery 1.1.3.1 but I want to do some awesome and snazzy UI work in a few places, so I want to use 1.4.2 for obvious reasons.

I’ve been trying to run these side by side but I can’t seem to get any code to execute. I also need to implement a few plugins using 1.4.2 so I’m not sure if putting jQuery over to something like $j would work, as obviously the plugins would pick up $ and jQuery as 1.1.3.1 rather than 1.4.2.

Is there a way that I can wrap my code in a noConflict() block and also include the plugins that I need to create a self contained block of 1.4.2 code?

Any help would be fantastic as my poor mind weeps amid the vast wasteland that is the API docs!

    You should simply upgrade the entire site to 1.4.2.
    jQuery does not in general have many breaking changes, so that shouldn’t be so hard.
