I prefer using jQuery(...) purely to prevent code conflicts. A few JavaScript libraries out there all use $(...), which in some cases can override each others' functions/methods and cause a mess for you (this is a common occurance in some SharePoint sites). If you use jQuery.noConflict();, you ensure that jQuery is running in a mode where it is in its own namespace and will not mess with other libraries running on the same page (as you're aware I'm sure - using jQuery.noConflict will render $(...) non-functional). I'm really glad you found some value in my blog. I love to share my knowledge and enjoy helping out the community! Thanks for the kind words. :) Stephan Hi tomc,

This saved me a ton of time. One question. from a jQuery novice: Is there any performance difference between $(...) and JQuery(...)? Thanks again. Thanks. This saved me a ton of time.
