Script conflics - EasyPoll - jQuery

On a development site, I am using a vertical sliding menu that uses jQuery 1.2.6 - New Wave Javascript

This all works fine, until i call EasyPoll.

Calling easypoll on the same page as the menu causes the menu to stay open constantly and not slide.

I presume this is a script conflict.

Does anyone have experience of this and know of a solution?

most likely a solution would be to use the jQuery.noConflict() method detailed here:
http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.noConflict/

This means you can’t use the [tt]$[/tt] symbol shortcut for jquery, you just replace it - in all pages where the scripts clash.
