The above solutions to avoid conflicts rely on jQuery is being loaded after prototype.js is loaded. However, if you include jQuery before other libraries, you may use full name jQuery in your jQuery code to avoid conflicts without calling the jQuery.noConflict(). But in this scenario the $ will have the meaning defined in the other library. Example

Using jQuery with Other JavaScript Libraries As you already know, jQuery uses the dollar sign ($) as a shortcut or alias for jQuery. Thus, if you use another JavaScript library that also uses the $ sign as a shortcut, along with the jQuery library on the same page, conflicts could occur.
