September 2012 Release ajax toolkit combobox is read only when using jquery

Question

Asp.net September 2012 Release ajax toolkit combobox is read only when using jquery. Any idea on how to avoid conflicts between jquery and ajax toolkit

Answer 1

When you have other libraries together with jQuery you can use the jQuery.noConflict() function to avoid the conflicts with the common symbols like the $

Sample from jQuery page and how you use the noConflict():

<script type="text/javascript" src="other_lib.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
  $.noConflict();
  jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
    // Code that uses jQuery's $ can follow here.
  });
  // Code that uses other library's $ can follow here.
</script>

The idea is that after you call the $.noConflict(); then all rest call to jQuery libraries are done using the jQuery and not the $ symbol as on the example above.
