Hi Angelo, I had this exact problem - jQuery and Prototype don't work out in IE8 (I vaguely remember reading something about IE8 trying to be smart and load/run scripts in parallel, which cause problems). Sometimes prototype code would run, but $ would be referencing jQuery even though I had called noConflict on jQuery.
Here's my solution, which I'm using in my app right now: - Download the un-minified source of jQuery, whichever version you're using - Modify it so that it never assigns the $ variable in the first place (in version 1.4.3 it's line 901: "return (window.jQuery = window.$ = jQuery); just remove the " = window.$" part. - Minify it (I used yahoo's javascript compressor - http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/compressor/) And then everything works. You can grab it from my site if you like ( http://www.deliverthedeals.com/js/jquery-1.4.3.min.js) to verify that it works. My version has an extra line at the end though, which assigns jQuery to $j.
