Is it possible to use 2 versions of jQuery on the same page?

Question

NOTE: I know similar questions have already been asked here and here, but I\'m looking for additional clarification as to how to make this work or good reasons for avoid

Answer 1

You should not do this what so ever, $.noConflict() won't really help you in all cases.
This is because, internally, jQuery uses the alias name jQuery so forget about
any dollar sign $ re-assinging... if you will use any code that's using jQuery like this:
jQuery('div').doSomethingDepricated() then it will use the last defined jQuery loaded in the page. Now, if you use a plugin, which only works with old jQuery, and internally
it's written only using jQuery alias (not $), then it will break.

If you really want to use 2 jQuery scripts with different versions, you can do
search and replace on the 'jQuery' name on one of them, and change it to something else, then you can also re-assign it do any alias name via no-conflict method if you wish.
