title: Mailchimp's $mcj = jQuery.noConflict(true) causing conflict
body: <p>I am trying to integrate MailChimps' standard html form into my website. However, my site has some jquery code that is running into problems with MailChimp's code.</p>
  
  <p>The following code is part of the MailChimp embedded form:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;script type='text/javascript' src='//s3.amazonaws.com/downloads.mailchimp.com/js/mc-  validate.js'&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  &lt;script type='text/javascript'&gt;
  (function($) {
  window.fnames = new Array(); window.ftypes = new   Array();fnames[0]='EMAIL';ftypes[0]='email';fnames[1]='FNAME';ftypes[1]='text';fnames[2]='LNAME';ftypes[2]='text';
  }(jQuery));
  var $mcj = jQuery.noConflict(true);
  &lt;/script&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The '....mailchimp.com/js/mc-validate.js' conflicted with my Google API for jquery so I took out mailchimp's jquery activation. </p>
  
  <p>My questions are:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Do I have to have the mailchimp /mc-validate.js line in my .html
  code to run the form or can I rely on  </li>
  </ol>
  
  <p><code>&lt;script src='http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.1/jquery.min.js'&gt;  &lt;/script&gt;</code>?</p>
  
  <ol start="2">
  <li>If I do remove the native mailchimp jquery line and rely on the
  googleapi line, I run into problems with the 
       <code>$mcj=jQuery.noConflict(true)</code> code.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Basic question is: Has anyone had experience with integrating Mail Chimp into their website and run into these type of issues with jQuery?</p>
  
  <p>Looking forward to your answers.</p>
