For the record, recent version of the jQuery corner plugin do not have a problem with $ usage.

Think perhaps that jQuery rounded corners in one of those that needs to be re-done, 'cos no matter what order I call the libraries, whether I use jQuery.noConflict() or not, it just will not round the box corners. The sole reason of trying to use prototype is cos of PeriodicalUpdater which makes it easy for me to loop a function. I say easy cos I'm not a coder. So if anyone can point out a jQuery-equivalent to PeriodicalUpdater, I'll just stick with jQuery for all my js needs. TIA Mike Alsup wrote: > > Kelly, > > I assume that "your code" is jQuery based.
