I'm trying to get jquery_update working in my site, but it's not; not quite anyway. The problem looks a lot like what I've found posted by people claiming problems with admin_menu that were traced to lightbox2 (I think), but it's not quite the same, and I'm not running lightbox of any form. So:

I'm running Drupal 6.19 and jquery_update 6.x-2.x-dev; all my other modules are up to date. Most of my pages don't do any jquery, but one of them is using a bit of third-party jquery code (a small pop-up menu thing) which requires 1.3.2). When I load that page, Firefox reports "$ is not a function" errors for admin_menu.js (line 3) and misc/textarea.js( (line 4), both of which are just the first use of a jquery-type $(...) statement. The pop-up code does not work, but, oddly enough, admin_menu is working fine. In case it's useful, the page being loaded looks like this:

...rest of page...

(Modules starting with vr_ are mine; the third-party code is /js/popupmenu/popupmenu.css.)

OK, so some third-party code isn't working; hardly your fault, I guess. But here's what's weird: If I modify the code that generates this page to explicitly load the SAME jquery code that jquery_update loads, all is well -- Firefox reports no errors, admin_menu and textarea work fine, and my code does, too. I did this like so --

drupal_add_js('sites/all/modules/jquery_update/replace/jquery.min.js');

and the resulting page code looks like this:

... more page code ...

It's clear that sites/all/modules/jquery_update/replace/jquery.min.js is getting loaded twice, which makes me think that something after the first load is screwing things up. But what it is, I have no idea. I must confess to being something of a jquery newbie, so I haven't had much luck with diagnosing that code.

Anyway, I guess I have my workaround, but this in general doesn't seem right. Do any of you folks have any insights into this? Thanks!
