jQuery: How can I use “$” instead of “jQuery”?

Question

I have simple jQuery in my site, yet I keep getting this error:

Uncaught TypeError: Property \'$\' of object [object DOMWindow] is not a function

You can wrap your code:

(function($) {
    // here $ would be point to jQuery object
    $(document).ready(function() {
        $('#pass').keyup( ... );
    });
})(jQuery);
