Using jQuery and Prototype together while avoiding the dreaded element.dispatchEvent error

Here is what I do to avoid the dreaded “element.dispatchEvent is not a function” error. I load jQuery first, Prototype second, and then I use jQuery( ) instead of $( ) for all my jQuery calls.

 <!--  Set up jQuery and prototype together  -->
 <script src="http://www.google.com/jsapi"></script>
 <script>
 google.load("jquery", "1.3.2");
 google.load("prototype", "1.6.0.3");
 google.setOnLoadCallback(function() {
  jQuery('#helphide').hide();
  jQuery('#helpbutton').click( function(){
    jQuery('#helphide').toggle();
 });
 });
 </script>
