The noConflict() method releases the hold on the $ shortcut identifier, so that other scripts can use it.
You can of course still use jQuery, simply by writing the full name instead of the shortcut:
Example
File Name :
$.noConflict();
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery("button").click(function(){
jQuery("p").text("jQuery is still working!");
});
});
File Name :
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$.noConflict();
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery("button").click(function(){
jQuery("p").text("jQuery is still working!");
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<p>This is a paragraph.</p>
<button>Test jQuery</button>
</body>
</html>
The noConflict() method returns a reference to jQuery, that you can save in a variable, for later use. Here is an example:
Example
var jq = $.noConflict();
jq(document).ready(function(){ jq("button").click(function(){ jq("p").text("jQuery is still working!"); }); });
File Name :
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
var jq=$.noConflict();
jq(document).ready(function(){
jq("button").click(function(){
jq("p").text("jQuery is still working!");
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<p>This is a paragraph.</p>
<button>Test jQuery</button>
</body>
</html>
If you have a block of jQuery code which uses the $ shortcut and you do not want to change it all, you can pass the $ sign in as a parameter to the ready method. This allows you to access jQuery using $, inside this function - outside of it, you will have to use "jQuery":
Example :
$.noConflict(); jQuery(document).ready(function($){ $("button").click(function(){ $("p").text("jQuery is still working!"); }); });
File Name :
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$.noConflict();
jQuery(document).ready(function($){
$("button").click(function(){
$("p").text("jQuery is still working!");
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<p>This is a paragraph.</p>
<button>Test jQuery</button>
