ddaccordion won't work with jqModal

[knives_out]

1) Script Title: ddaccordion

2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...daccordion.htm

3) Describe problem: I have the jqModal plug-in on my website as well. when I put in ddaccordion it stops working and I get this error in firebug.

$ is not a function
.jqm({

DD Accordion relinquishes the "$" function so another JS framework on your same page (if any) can claim and use it as it desires. This is to avoid conflicts with frameworks that also use "$", such as Prototype etc. Now, if jqModal (or any other jQuery script) on the same page don't take into consideration the above set up and dives straight into using "$", you'll have to manually reclaim "$" for jQuery. In other words, you can add the below to the first line within the jqModal script:

$=jQuery.noConflict()

Just like the thread starter,

Hello, Im getting the ff error:
$("#ex4a").jqm is not a function

but $=jQuery.noConflict() did not work for me

Im using the ff libs:

<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-1.2.6.pack.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jqModal.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jqDnR.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="ddaccordion.js">

Here's my script on the <--head-->

<script type="text/javascript">

	$().ready(function() {

  $('#ex4a').jqm({

    trigger: '#ex4aTrigger',
    overlay: 50, /* 0-100 (int) : 0 is off/transparent, 100 is opaque */
    overlayClass: 'whiteOverlay'})
    .jqDrag('.jqDrag'); /* make dialog draggable, assign handle to title */
  
  // Close Button Highlighting. IE doesn't support :hover. Surprise?
  $('input.jqmdX')
  .hover(
    function(){ $(this).addClass('jqmdXFocus'); }, 
    function(){ $(this).removeClass('jqmdXFocus'); })
  .focus( 
    function(){ this.hideFocus=true; $(this).addClass('jqmdXFocus'); })
  .blur( 
    function(){ $(this).removeClass('jqmdXFocus'); });

});

//Initialize first demo:
ddaccordion.init({
	headerclass: "mypets", //Shared CSS class name of headers group
	contentclass: "thepet", //Shared CSS class name of contents group
	revealtype: "click", //Reveal content when user clicks or onmouseover the header? Valid value: "click", "clickgo", or "mouseover"
	mouseoverdelay: 200, //if revealtype="mouseover", set delay in milliseconds before header expands onMouseover
	collapseprev: true, //Collapse previous content (so only one open at any time)? true/false 
	defaultexpanded: [0], //index of content(s) open by default [index1, index2, etc]. [] denotes no content.
	onemustopen: false, //Specify whether at least one header should be open always (so never all headers closed)
	animatedefault: false, //Should contents open by default be animated into view?
	persiststate: true, //persist state of opened contents within browser session?
	toggleclass: ["", "openpet"], //Two CSS classes to be applied to the header when it's collapsed and expanded, respectively ["class1", "class2"]
	togglehtml: ["none", "", ""], //Additional HTML added to the header when it's collapsed and expanded, respectively  ["position", "html1", "html2"] (see docs)
	animatespeed: "fast", //speed of animation: integer in milliseconds (ie: 200), or keywords "fast", "normal", or "slow"
	oninit:function(expandedindices){ //custom code to run when headers have initalized
		//do nothing
	},
	onopenclose:function(header, index, state, isuseractivated){ //custom code to run whenever a header is opened or closed
		//do nothing
	}
})
</script>

I tried adding the code $=jQuery.noConflict(); like this:

 $=jQuery.noConflict();
(function($) {

$.fn.jqm=function(o){

Thanks
