I'm not sure about your original problem but prefixing it with django will make use of Django's jquery namespace: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/admin/#modeladmin-media-definitions
Django admin Javascript makes use of the jQuery <http://jquery.com/> library. > To avoid conflicts with user-supplied scripts or libraries, Django's jQuery > is namespaced as django.jQuery. If you want to use jQuery in your own > admin JavaScript without including a second copy, you can use the > django.jQuery object on changelist and add/edit views. > If you require the jQuery library to be in the global namespace, for > example when using third-party jQuery plugins, or need a newer version of > jQuery, you will have to include your own copy of jQuery.
