wp_enqueue_script(), jQuery, and WordPress

A quick note on using jQuery with WordPress for those having any trouble with it. I decided to use wp_enqueue_script() to include the jQuery library in a recent project and discovered the jQuery code wouldn't do anything.

After a bit of searching, I discovered the solution was to replace all the "$()" in my jQuery code with "jQuery()".

Apparently, in order to prevent collisions with the Prototype javascript framework, which also uses "$()", you have to use jQuery() instead of $() for all your jQuery functions to work with wp_eneque_script().
