Thanks for pointing this out. Exhibit has (in my usage) generally been the only thing going on in a page, and any other code would be concerned with modifying its behavior. Clearly that isn't the best assumption to be making. I used $ because it made typing easier and lines shorter (nothing deep there). I'm familiar with the use of closures to $ within a restricted scope, as most jQuery plugins do, but with our code base spread out over a lot of files, I am loathe to go down that road. I suppose we could just make the switch to use "jQuery" instead, though if you know of any other way we can have our cake and eat it too - the simplicity of $ without causing conflicts - I'd be interested to hear it. I'll see what else I can find on the topic. If nothing else, we could make sure the compressed version of Exhibit substitutes all $ usage for jQuery. > Thanks, > > Jed > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "SIMILE Widgets" group.
