Any chance someone could elaborate on what George explained? It sort
of makes sense to me, but I'm still a bit lost. What would I do if a
page I'm working on already has Prototype and JQuery 1.1.4 (loaded
with noConflict()), and I wanted to then add JQuery 1.2.1 and some
plugins? Is that even possible or should I just learn how to use
1.1.4 (which is being loaded because of a few Wordpress plugins)? I'm
new to JQuery so I've been learning the latest build. Is it very
different from 1.1.4? Sorry for the wide variety of questions.
Any help or knowledge would be greatly appreciated.
