How to Use Jquery in Joomla Module development

Jquery really an awesome java-script library why we like this

1 – Easy DOM manipulation

2 – Easy Ajax

3 –  Browser compatibility and many more

but if you want to use jquery in joomla module development you can not use it directly , because joomla is based on mootools java-script library but thanks to jquery this awesome library has a mode “no conflict mode” . what you have to do is

First define the noconflict() function

<script type=”text/javascript”>var $j = jQuery.noConflict();</script>

and after that change the $ of the jquery to the $j as showb below

<script type=”text/javascript”>

$j(document).ready(function(){

$j(‘ul.thumb li’).Zoomer({speedView:<?php echo $speedView; ?>,

speedRemove:<?php echo $speedRemove; ?>,

altAnim:true,

speedTitle:<?php echo $speedTitle; ?>,

width:'<?php echo $imagewidth.”px”; ?>’,

height:'<?php echo $imageheight.”px”; ?>’,

debug:false});

});

</script>
