Use both $ and jquery as variable

In my project every page loads a cdn jquery script. some use $ and some use jquery. and now I have to use my new script file 'myNewScript.js' in every page.
If I write my function like $(function (){}) it gives error on some pages like
$ is not function
and if I write function like this jquery(function (){}) then it also give error on other page like
jquery is not a function.
I want to know can we use both $ and jquery as variable . like in same script file say 'myNewScript.js' I want to write $(function (){}) and jquery(function (){}).
Every thing is dependent on each other so I can't reverse the loading of the script. I can't think of any solution...

jQuery should always be available using the name jQuery (note the uppercase Q). So use that:
jQuery(function (){})
You can also wrap your code in an IIFE if you would like to refer to jQuery as $ while dealing with the uncertainty whether the global $ actually refers to it:
(function ($) {
$(function () {
// on ready stuff
});
})(jQuery);

Define jQuery locally for yourself by looking for both variables.
var myJquery = jquery || $;

Using jQuery with Magento without replacing $ with jQuery?

I've not really found a definitive answer for this question. I've had to edit jQuery plugins to replace instances of $. This, for me at least, is a serious issue. Anyone coming after me, if going to have a nightmare to maintain of upgrade my work. I use a lot of plugins.
Is this really the only option?

If the plugin is poorly written then I guess you could try using the jQuery.noConflict method.
If it's properly written you don't need it because it will already wrap all $ usages in an anonymous method:
(function( $ ) {
$.fn.myPlugin = function() {
// Do your awesome plugin stuff here
};
})( jQuery );

As Darin has mentioned, well authored plugins are wrapped in an anonymous method. You can use the same trick in your own code too, rather than use noConflict - for example if you had a JavaScript file with loads of jQuery in it that you didn't want to update:
(function ($) {
$(document).ready( function () {
$('#myid').hide();
});
// and so on...
}(jQuery));

Conflict solution required in jQuery and $ in jquery

I have two pages with a script
jQuery(document).ready(function()
{
jQuery("#"+id).simpletip({
/*content: 'A simple tooltip2 A simple tooltip2 A simple tooltip2',*/
content: msg,
fixed: true,
position: ["0", positionVal]
});
});
but i have one problem, one page is working using above method but another page is working only when i replace jQuery with $. is there any alternative by which I can solve this conflict?
I tried jQuery.noConflict(); and var j = jQuery.noConflict(); method, but it didn't work.

You might have other library there. You can however use $ on both of your pages like this:
jQuery(function($){
// use $ now
});
Or
jQuery(document).ready(function($){
// use $ now
});
FYI, you can also check what $ resolves to using:
alert($); // or console.log($)

Using JQuery in Drupal 7

I'm writing my own Drupal 7 module, and like to use JQuery in it.
$('#field').toggle();
But I'm getting this error:
TypeError: Property '$' of object [object DOMWindow] is not a function
It seems that JQuery is not loaded. Otherwise $ should be defined.
Though I actually include it in the header:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://rockfinder.de/misc/jquery.js?v=1.4.4"></script>
Do I have to do anything else to activate JQuery in Drupal? Is $ being overwritten by Drupal?
That's the website: http://rockfinder.orgapage.de

From the Drupal 7 upgrade guide:
Javascript should be made compatible
with other libraries than jQuery by
adding a small wrapper around your
existing code:
(function ($) {
// Original JavaScript code.
})(jQuery);
The $ global will no longer refer to
the jquery object. However, with this
construction, the local variable $
will refer to jquery, allowing your
code to access jQuery through $
anyway, while the code will not
conflict with other libraries that use
the $ global.
You can also just use the 'jQuery' variable instead of the $ variable in your code.

According to Firebug, your jQuery file is being loaded:
But the $ is being overwritten by something else:
What you should do is encapsulate the use of the $ variable with a function that invokes itself using the jQuery object as it's first actual argument:
(function ($) {
// in this function, you can use the $ which refers to the jQuery object
}(jQuery));

Chances are your script is not initialized this way, you'll have to use Drupal.behaviors.YOURTHEMENAME
(function ($) {
Drupal.behaviors.YOURTHEMENAME = {
attach: function(context, settings) {
/*Add your js code here*/
alert('Code');
}
};
})(jQuery);

"$ is not a function" is a very common error that you may face while working with jQuery. You can try any answers of given below:
(function($){
//your can write your code here with $ prefix
})(jQuery);
OR
jQuery(document).ready(function($){
//Write your code here
});
Basically this will allow our code to run and use the $ shortcut for JQuery.

You can create the separate file for js and than add js file using the following:
drupal_add_js('path', 'module_name');

jquery element not defined, but it used to skip it

I recently transferred a site to a new host. Reloaded everything, and the javascript that worked fine before is breaking at an element it can't find. $('#emailForm') is not defined.
Now, the #emailform isn't on the page, but it wasn't before either, and JS used to skip this and it would just work. Not sure why this is happening. Any clues
Here is the site I am having the prblem:
http://rosecomm.com/26/gearwrench/

jQuery will return an empty jQuery object from $('#emailForm') if there isn't an element with the id='emailForm'.
One of the following is likely true:
You forgot to include jQuery - therefore $ is undefined.
There is another library included that uses $ - in which case you can wrap your code in a quick closure to rename jQuery to $
The Closure:
(function($){
// $ is jQuery
$('#emailForm').whatever();
})(jQuery);
You could console.log(window.$,window.jQuery); in firebug to check for both of these problems.

You have mootools-1.2.2-core-yc.js installed as well, and it is conflicting with jQuery.
http://docs.jquery.com/Using_jQuery_with_Other_Libraries
$(document).ready(function() {
(function($){
// bind 'myForm' and provide a simple callback function
$('#emailForm').ajaxForm(function() {
var txt=document.getElementById("formReturn")
txt.innerHTML="<p>Thank You</p>";
});
...
$(document).ready is being called against the moo tools library instead of jQuery.

I'm not sure why it would be skipped before, but to avoid the error, wrap the statement(s) that reference $('#emailForm') in an if statement that checks to see if it is present:
if ( $('#emailForm').length ) {
// code to handle $('#emailForm') goes here...
}
