Prototype and jQuery together?

I noticed that a certain script I use relies on prototype. (Lightbox 2) Will it work together on the same page as jQuery? Is there way to make sure that they don;t conflict?

You can but you need to take special steps if you're using the $() special function. Basically it comes down to the order you call libraries and/or calling jQuery.noConflict().

There's a huge number of lightbox clones, why not choose a jQuery one? Regardless of avoiding conflicts between the libraries, having two JS libraries on one page is a lot to download.

Use jQuery.noConflict so that you are required to make calls using the jQuery object explicitly (i.e. jQuery('#selector') instead of the $ alias.
