how to replace 'dollar' sign with another character used in jquery?

Question

How will I change the dollar sign (alias for \'jquery\') used in jquery with another character. For example

$(\"#id\").css(\"height\",\"210px\");
         


        

Answer 1

You cannot change $ to * because * is not a valid identifier. But you can change it to a valid one:

(function (foobar) {
    foobar("#whatever").css(....)


})(jQuery);

Given that JavaScript identifiers are unicode, you can try fancy things like for example:

(function (Ω) {
    Ω("#whatever").css(....)
})(jQuery);
