jQuery: How can I use “$” instead of “jQuery”?

Question

I have simple jQuery in my site, yet I keep getting this error:

Uncaught TypeError: Property \'$\' of object [object DOMWindow] is not a function

Answer 1

You probably have jQuery noConflict mode enabled somewhere in your code, see: http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.noConflict/

jQuery.noConflict(); // Stops $ from workng
