js jquery slideshow

I have been using a jquery slideshow, but when I include a jquery newsticker (text that scrolls to the right) either the slideshow or the menu javascript popup (or both) do not work. For instance, if I put

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js"></script>

right above the slideshow script, the slidshow works but something else does not. If I put the code inside the head tag, its the other way around. This is very unusual (and not logical), but Ive been troubled with this stuff for 6 hours. I am sure this is the only link to jquery, besides a prototype.js that works with the menu. However, I am simply editing the website so I do not know how everything works.

Does anyone have an idea about what may be the solution?

The other way I can deal with this is by using a javascript slideshow (but no jquery). But I cant find an example of what I want, that works without jquery.

What I need is this - php gets all images from a folder, and data (links) from the database. Each image is actually a link, and all images are displayed inside a div.

<div id="slideshow">
  <a href="link"> <img src="src.jpg"> </a>
  <a href="link"> <img src="src.jpg"> </a>
  <a href="link"> <img src="src.jpg"> </a>
</div>

div id slideshow is what the javascript (again, not jquery) uses to know what to cycle (fade animation). Can someone please help me here?

Other libraries like prototype and mootools also share the same "$" alias so when combined in same page they conflict.

You will need to use jQuery.noConflict() to resolve.

In a script tag immediately after jQuery loads call:

 jQuery.noConflict();

Now in order to continue using "$" in your code, wrap code in:

  jQuery(function($){/* $ argument passes use of $ alias for jQuery into function*/

      $(selector).hide() ; /* can use normal jQuery syntax inside this function*/

  });
