[jQuery] [validation] $ vs. jQuery problem


I just installed the latest version of Jörn Zaefferer's fine
validation plugin. I have a certain page that mixes several different
javascript libraries, requiring me to use the "jQuery.noConflict();"
method. Unfortunately, the validation plugin uses "$" in many places
throughout the plugin. Because of this, I was getting errors like "$
(element).rules() is not a function". I could not figure it out for
quite a while, then realized this page was different than most on my
site because of the noConflict(). I changed all $. and $( references
to jQuery. and jQuery( respectively, and the bizarre errors went away.
Is this the correct way to handle this issue? And if so, how do we get
it changes in the source?
Thanks,
Mark
