programatically switching between jquery library and 3rd party library
<p>We are using a 3rd party java script library for functionalities like drag-drop, calender etc. Now are planning to move to jQuery for these controls &amp; effects.</p>

<p>The 3rd party uses $(DOMElement) like jQuery to add the extension methods to the control(say converting a textbox to calender).
jQuery also uses the same syntax.</p>

<p>We are not completely replacing the 3rd party library with jQuery. So in some place $(element) should refer to the 3rd party library, while in some places in the same page, it should refer to jQuery. </p>

<p>Is there a way to programatically specify which which library the $(element) should refer.</p>

<p>Thanks in Advance..</p>
