How do I run different versions of jQuery on the same page?

I have a situation where I have my own version of jQuery(1.4.2), with all sorts of custom functions defined. This version of jQuery is loaded before a third party script, which loads its own version of jQuery (1.4.3), and when this script is loaded it somehow destroys all the custom functions I had. The third party script uses noconflict after jQuery is loaded. Because of the noconflict code, I assume the problem would be fixed if I could load the third party script before anything else, however my environment is such that I cannot guarantee this, however I can run some custom javascript before and/or after loading the script if I load it dynamically.

What I am wondering is if there is some way I can save/restore/protect my own version of jQuery so that the custom methods will be accessible after the third party script runs?

Answer 1

If you can run custom code before and after this script is loaded I believe this will do it:

var $myJQ = jQuery.noConflict();

// Load the other script.  It should move itself away from the $ and jQuery variables
// if it properly calls noConflict.

var $ = $myJQ;

I believe gets you to what you’re after.
