Is it possible to use mootools and jQuery both together

I have to use mootools and jquery files together. But there is a conflict occurs while using both together. Is there any solution to avoid this conflict?

Yes, you'll have to include this code just after you include your jQuery and before you include Mootools.

<script>
    var j$ = jQuery.noConflict();
</script>

You'll then want to find/replace all jQuery $ references with j$, preferably using the automated tool found in most code editors.

You also have another option, a closure. It would look something like this, if I remember correctly:

(function($) {
  //jQuery stuff
})(jQuery);

You'll want to move all your existing code inside this function. It scopes the $ variable so you can do business with jQuery as usual within the closure, then use Mootools outside of it.

It is (possible to use both libraries together).

From the official jQuery site on how to make it work with other libraries: http://docs.jquery.com/Using_jQuery_with_Other_Libraries
