title: Magento Prototype and third party jquery files conflicting
body: <p>I need to use jquery in my Magento store. I've managed to let both prototype and jquery of my extension work alongside. But the problem is I am using two third party extensions. Both have their own jquery files to include. Now prototype of Magento and two additional jquery files are making a mess of my store. Is there any way to use one jquery file for both extensions. I have tried using the latest jquery version but neither extension works with that version. I am out of options and ideas here. Can anyone tell me how can i make this work?</p>
  
  <p>I tried removing the script blocks. But it generates more errors. I have one extension that displays product images in a lightbox from product list page. This extension uses <strong>jquery-1.7.2.min.</strong> version. The other is a call for price extension which uses <strong>jQuery v1.4.2</strong> version. I removed the one from call for price extension's xml and added a <strong>jQuery v1.8.2</strong> version in page.xml. So both the extensions can use it. It now generates these errors:</p>
  
  <pre><code>TypeError: $(document).ready is not a function
  $(document).ready(function() {
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This code is written in my list.phtml file.</p>
  
  <pre><code>$(document).ready(function() {
  var curUrl = "&lt;?php echo $this-&gt;getUrl('contacts/index/reseturl/') ?&gt;";
  
      $("#selCat").change(function(){ 
          $.ajax({
          type: "POST",    
          data: "catUrl=" + $("#selCat").val(),
          url: curUrl,
          dataType: "text",
          success: function(response){
              //alert(response);
              window.location.replace(response);
            }   
          });
      });
  });   
  </code></pre>
