Getting js error on $.blockUI of jquery.blockUI.js when the page includes jstotage.js and json2.js

Getting js error on $.blockUI of jquery.blockUI.js when the page includes jstotage.js and json2.js

I am now using json2.js and jquery-1.3.2.min.js along with jstorage.js .

 

<script src="js/common/jquery-1.3.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

<script src="js/common/jquery.blockUI.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

<script src="js/common/json2.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

<script>

$ = {}

</script>

<script src="js/common/jstorage.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

 

Ever since I have put the methods $.jstorage.get and $.jstorage.set to get and set JS objects in local storage, the following method is not getting called.

 

$.blockUI({ message: '<img src="/images/common/busy_indicator_pic.gif" />' });

 

It is resulting in a JS error which says,

 

 
Message: Object doesn't support this property or method
 
 
Can anyone please help???
