Question

I was using jQuery 1.6 before. Then, needed a slideshow which works with jQuery 1.7.

Both versions are conflicting on my HTML page. Any solution to avoid the jQuery conflicts would be appreciated in the following code…

<script src="js/jquery-1.6.4.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script> 

    <script type="text/javascript">
        $.noConflict();

        $(document).ready(function(){
            $('#nav ul').superfish();
            packages_slider();
            testimonials_slider(); 
            set_datepicker();       
            set_select();
            set_captcha(true);
            validation();
            jquery_miscellaneous();
        });
    </script>

    <script src="js/jquery-ui.1.8.16.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src="js/jquery.easing.1.3.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src="js/sliders.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src="js/superfish.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src="js/pdate.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src="js/jquery.datepick.pack.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src="js/jquery.selectbox-0.1.3.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src="js/jquery.validate.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src="js/jquery.form.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src="js/miscellaneous.js" type="text/javascript"></script>


    <script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-1.7.2.min.js"> </script>

    <script type="text/javascript">
            $.noConflict();

        jQuery(document).ready(function($){
            $('#basic-slider').advancedSlider({width: 1200, 
                                               height: 600, 

                                                }
            });
        });

        </script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.transition.min.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.advancedSlider.min.js"></script>

Don’t use both versions. Just upgrade to 1.7 1.8.

There are dirty tricks to get this (partially) working, but it’s asking for trouble, a lot of maintenance hell, and twice the amount of code to be downloaded to the client. You really don’t want to walk that road.
