how to replace 'dollar' sign with another character used in jquery?

Question

How will I change the dollar sign (alias for \'jquery\') used in jquery with another character. For example

$(\"#id\").css(\"height\",\"210px\");
         


        

Answer 1

jQuery comes with a noConflict command which you can assign to a custom variable:

var jq = jQuery.noConflict(true);

This means you can do regular jQuery with your symbol:

jq.css('height', '200px');

You cannot use the asterisk (*) because it is a reserved character.
