I'm trying to use the accordian and the lightbox plugins.

i've read a few threads and pages, i've come to the conclusion that there are ways to do this.

however in this case im wondering if it isn't time to learn a bit more about jquery. the two plugins are taken from tuts that use different versions of jquery, 1.2.3 and 1.2.6

now i know thats old hat and i think i should be trying here to get both working against a cdn delivered 1.4/5 version of jQuery. anyone concur?

when i drop the cdn 1.4.4 into the page it doesn't actually work. neither plugin works. if i roll back to the jquery suggested by the tut, one or the other of the plugins will work but neither at the same time.

so ideally im looking for help in understanding whats going on, how to fix it ad ensure i don't come across this issue again. im fine with links to blog posts describing how to update a plugin to latest code if thats whats on offer, im not just looking for someone to fix my code, i really want to know how this works as i intend using jquery much more heavily in future.

disclaimer: im a jquery noob, who has the sitepoint novice to ninja book in the queue waiting to be read. I guess it just got bumped.
