Quick Reference
The noConflict() method releases jQuery’s control of the $ variable and can be used to specify a new custom name for the jQuery variable. This method is useful when other JavaScript libraries use the $ for their functions.
var jq = $.noConflict();Syntax
$.noConflict(removeAll)/* releases control of all jQuery variables */
var jq = $.noConflict(removeAll);Note
It is generally good practice to place your jQuery code/function inside the document load function so that the action takes place ONLY after the document has finished loading. This ensures that all of the page elements that you may be selecting are in place before running the code on them.
Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| removeAll | A Boolean value that specifies whether or not to release jQuery's control of ALL jQuery variables including "jQuery" |
jQuery Notes:
- To use jQuery on your site, it must first be downloaded from the official jQuery site and linked to in your document <head>, or linked to via a CDN in your document <head>

- When using jQuery, single or double quotation marks are acceptable and work identically to one another; choose whichever you prefer, and stay consistent
We’d like to acknowledge that we learned a great deal of our coding from W3Schools and TutorialsPoint, borrowing heavily from their teaching process and excellent code examples. We highly recommend both sites to deepen your experience, and further your coding journey. We’re just hitting the basics here at 1SMARTchicken.
