can be easily used with other libraries, including
Prototype, MooTools and YUI (“The jQuery library, and
virtually all of its plugins are constrained within the jQuery
namespace. As a general rule, \"global\" objects are stored inside the
jQuery namespace as well, so you shouldn't get a clash between
jQuery and any other library”)
supported by Firefox 1.5>, IE 6>, Safari 2.0.2>
