Unable to use jquery plugin using higher version of jquery, while loading two versions of jquery simultaneously
Our project is running on jquery 1.3.2, yes a very old version, I know. Anyways, we are not going to upgrade that right now. We just need to use jquery's [chosen plugin][1] (Download link - https://github.com/harvesthq/chosen) right now, which needs jquery 1.4 at least. So, I followed the following solution to load both versions of jquery on the same page -

http://stackoverflow.com/a/1566644/351903 

But I am not able to call chosen on the newer version of jquery. Here is what I did - 

*1. In the jquery loading part*


    <script type="text/javascript" src="/js/jquery.js"></script>
    		
    <!-- Added for using jQuery chosen plugin -->
    <script type="text/javascript" src="/js/jquery-1.4.min.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    	var jQuery_1_4 = $.noConflict(true);
    </script> 

Note - I **did not write** the following for the older version of jquery , because I did not want to replace wherever I have written anything like `$("something").somefunc()` with this `jQuery_1_3_2("something").somefunc()` - 

    <script type="text/javascript">
    var jQuery_1_3_2 = $.noConflict(true);
    </script>

*2. And then, in the plugin calling part*

    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/css/chosen.css"/>
    <!--  <script type="text/javascript" src="/js/jquery.chosen/chosen.jquery.min.js"></script> -->
    <script type="text/javascript" src="/js/jquery.chosen/chosen.jquery.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    jQuery_1_4(document).ready(function() 
    {
    	jQuery_1_4("select#user_id").chosen();
    });
    </script>

But I am getting error `jQuery_1_4("select#user_id").chosen is not a function`. However this is working properly - `alert("see"+jQuery_1_4("select#user_id").attr("id"));`. So, the problem seems to be only while using the plugin and may be I have to do some tweak inside the plugin code, may be replace some `$`s with `jQuery_1_4`? But that does not sound good and I am not sure what is the proper way.
