Hi,

Just a quick question: why have you changed 
\applications\welcome\static\js\jquery.dropdown.js, replacing all 
occurrences of $ with jQuery?.

Thanks,

   Carlos

It is for avoid confllicts, $ and jQuery has same purpose, and the use of
jQuery is recommended to avoid conflicts with another JS frameworks.

Hi Bruno,

I know that $ and jQuery are the same, but my question is more about why to 
change these external (jQuery plugin) files, which we would need to update 
every time the next version comes out, and the same for all other jQuery 
plugins?, or I guess it's just this one because it's included in web2py 
default app.

Anyways I was just wondering about it, thanks,

   Carlos
