I'm using jQuery on the site I'm working on. I noticed that when I added hoverBox3 it started giving errors. I looked at the js for HB3 and it was all base62 encoded. After decoding it, I found that the larger js file is simply Prototype+Sciptaculous.

Prototype also uses the $() function.

I resolved the issue by renaming all instances of $() to $PT() in both HB3 js files and repacking them.

I'd like to convert HB3 to jQuery if I get the time, though I don't think I plugin should really include an entire JS framework in it. It should just be listed on the pre-reqs that so and so framework is required.

Just thought I'd mention it since HB3 is nice and jQuery is popular. I searched the forums and couldn't find a solution right away. Hopefully someone may find this useful.
