\nWhile it’s never a good idea to bloat your webpage with too much unneeded content, there are times when you can’t avoid it. One example I came across recently was with my day job’s adoption of jQuery<\/a> as our official JavaScript framework, I needed to add some jQuery goodness to some blog pages belonging to a certain category in Movable Type<\/a>. Simple, right?\n<\/p>\n

\nWell the site in question already used Mootools<\/a> extensively, so the jQuery would have to run nicely next Mootools and not disrupt existing functionality.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe designers of jQuery have designed for this sort of situation, and have provided a function called noConflict<\/a> that returns the use of $<\/var> to Mootools, or any other framework you may have installed as well.\n<\/p>\n

\nHere’s some example code to show both jQuery and Mootools running in the same page…\n<\/p>\n

<script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"jquery-1.3.2.min.js\"><\/script>
\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--
\njQuery.noConflict();
\n\/\/-->
\n<\/script>
\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"mootools-1.2-core-yc.js\"><\/script>
\n<\/code><\/div>\n

\nIn my Movable Type situation, I am able to use a custom MT tag to make sure jQuery only appears for certain categories. Let’s assume I have a category called jQuery where I need the jQuery library to be imported, the MTIfCategory<\/code> tag is what I need to guard with…\n<\/p>\n

<MTIfCategory label=\"jQuery\">
\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"jquery-1.3.2.min.js\"><\/script>
\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--
\njQuery.noConflict();
\n\/\/-->
\n<\/script>
\n<\/MTIfCategory>
\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"mootools-1.2-core-yc.js\"><\/script>
\n<\/code><\/div>\n

\nWith this in place I can call jQuery functions using the jQuery<\/var> variable, and MooTools using $<\/var> where necessary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
