[12:50:43 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> so uPortal and all portlet's use jQuery in noconflict mode

[12:51:08 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> uPortal's jQuery instance lives at "up.jQuery"
[12:51:38 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> what you should do is wrap javascript that needs a reference to jQuery with:
[12:51:42 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> (function($) {
[12:51:46 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> JSHERE
[12:51:54 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> })(up.jQuery);
