you can use both together! Since MooTools is prototype-based and jQuery is not, jQuery and MooTools may be used together on the same page.

//no conflict jquery
jQuery.noConflict();
//jquery stuff
(function($) {
$(‘p’).css(‘color’,’#ff0000′);
})(jQuery);

//moo stuff
window.addEvent(‘domready’,function() {
$$(‘p’).setStyle(‘border’,’1px solid #fc0′);
});

jQuery is namespaced so the $ function is free for MooTools to take hold of. The jQuery code passes jQuery to itself and then we call the argument $, thus jQuery is contained, so to speak.

Obviously including two libraries within the same page is resource-consuming but if it’s acceptable to the project and allows you to implement plugins from each library quickly, this may be a great option for you.

hope this helps.. 🙂
