Hi, Rick.

Here's a quote to my hosting news group that 'splains' what has
happened since yesterday. Maybe you could comment on the latter
portion if you have time. TIA.........Ron

It turns out that what I downloaded from jQuery ended up with a bunch
of line feeds in it...my bad I'm sure.

I ended up copying the jquery.js from the another site's installation
and still had the same problem, but then it dawned on me that I should
look to see if my editor(s) 'wrapped' the file and, sure enough, I let
it get screwed up with those 'stinking' extra line feeds!

<blush>
To add insult to my stupidity, one copy paste from that other site
wrapped the file with <pre>.......</pre>
<blush>

My only excuse is that, after 12 years, I'm now using linux with
Bulefish and Screem editors that have 'con-foo-zed' me.

I'm getting too old for this......:=)

Now for my 'extra' question:

> ........
>   var jq = jQuery.noConflict();
>   jq(document).ready(function()
> .......

I noticed the 'var - noConflict' line above and saw it in another site
like this:

var $bfa = jQuery.noConflict();
$bfa(document).ready(function(){

and in his function content "$bfa" showed up in many places like

$bfa(".post img").each(function() {
  var maxwidth = centerwidth - 10 + 'px';
  var imgwidth = $bfa(this).width();
...........


First of all, I'd seen no mention of "jQuery.noConflict()" in their
docs and then seeing all those "$whatervers" all through a function's
code mystified me. I'm guessing it uniquely identifies/isolates each
function  somehow.

What is that all about and do you do that for some reason?

A link somewhere that explains the above would be fine.

Thanks for your help.........Ron
