adding javascript and using javascript

  • Hello,
    I am using two scripts on my site they are enqueue in the functions file of my child theme using the:

    <?php
add_action('init', 'loadJs');

function loadJs() {
	if (!is_admin()) {

		wp_register_script('jquery.imgpreload.min',
		get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/js/farinspace/jquery.imgpreload.min.js');
   		wp_enqueue_script('jquery.imgpreload.min');	

		wp_register_script('marquee',
		get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/js/marquee.js',
		array('jquery') );
   		wp_enqueue_script('marquee');
	}
}
?>

    the only way I can get these to run is if I do a find and replace in both js files and use find $ and replace with jQuery, so now is that correct, or am I setting myself for conflicts?
    Thanx a million,

    correct me if i am wrong:
    I changed:

    $(document).ready(function()
to
jQuery(document).ready(function($)

    and I added the var below as a global to handle all the instances of the $ that was not insice of the document.ready function.

    var $ = jQuery;

    Is that what I am supposed to do? I know it works this way, it also works if I change all the $ to jQuery, but I did not think that was right, so let me know.
    Thank you!
