[Janet Sullivan]

Todd:  Thanks! 

Sounds like a non-trivial undertaking, but I will give it a go.
The template developer confirmed that the template does include 

jquery to support accordian menus and a few other things, however,
had no idea how to turn it off.

In the meantime, adding all of the modules to fix problems with other components
wound up exactly as I expected.....One big mess, with nothing working right anymore!

The good news is that when things get this screwed up, you wind up learning a ton of stuff!
Still would love a subject matter expert to speak on the topic at NYC Joomla day, even if
it were a cookbook approach, similar to the advice you have given me.

  There  is no shortage of conflicting information on the web about jquery, mootools and joomla.

Janet,

I've had this same problem before.  it was the same conflict between Jquery and Mootools.
In my case i had Jquery included my template file (index.php), once I took it out of the template file and only included it on the modules that need Jquery, it worked.   However i also received the guidelines below from an experienced jquery extension developer, it may help you.



1. include mootools first
2. include jquery after that
3. include jquery noconflict code (google to find it)
4. use the 'jQuery' instead of '$' in all the codes written for jquery (plugin or custom code) because '$' is reserved for mootools

this is just a summery. you should find many articles on 'how to use jquery with joomla'



- Todd
