[Todd Sugiyama]

Janet,

I've had this same problem before.  it was the same conflict between Jquery and Mootools.
In my case i had Jquery included my template file (index.php), once I took it out of the template file and only included it on the modules that need Jquery, it worked.   However i also received the guidelines below from an experienced jquery extension developer, it may help you.


1. include mootools first
2. include jquery after that
3. include jquery noconflict code (google to find it)
4. use the 'jQuery' instead of '$' in all the codes written for jquery (plugin or custom code) because '$' is reserved for mootools

this is just a summery. you should find many articles on 'how to use jquery with joomla'
