JQuery and MediaWiki

JQuery and MediaWiki

Hey Guys,

Recently I tried to get jQuery working MediaWiki but I've hit a wall and can't figure out why it's not working. I followed the installation instructions found here: http://www.thusa.co.za/blog/gareth-davies/getting-jquery-running-mediawiki

I wanted to create something similar to this: http://www.i-marco.nl/weblog/jquery-accordion-menu/ . The code for this menu I put it right into the Common.js portion of the wiki. Is this the right way to go about it?

Thank you,
John

PS - I'm also using the LightBox extension (which might be causing some conflicts?)
