I think I over-simplified the situation. I'm writing a widget (which
dynamically generates contents of a "div" element on the page, in this
case) that gets plugged into various parts of the website. And the
entire website is reliant on jQuery, so the jQuery code and plugins
are already included in every location where the widget gets run. It
doesn't use PHP or ASP. But I'll take a look at using your second
suggestion, with noConflict().
I was able to add the Form plugin into my code, and it overrode the
old plugin. But if another widget is reliant on the original Form
plugin, then it would break their code. Hence the namespaces.
Any other ideas are still welcome.
