javascript - jQuery Loaded in noConflict Mode, Can't Access $ Even if Passed as Function Parameter -

i have jquery loaded jquery.noconflict() @ top (in wordpress).

then have following custom function:

var equalizeheights = function(){   $('.header').height(500); } 

which call on .ready() way:

jquery(function($){   equalizeheights(); }); 

the $ in function parameter supposed make shorthand version of jquery variable available throughout block, line try set height in equalizeheights() function returns error in console.

uncaugth typeerror: property '$' of object [object object] not function

i sure have library loaded, , not issue, since if console.log $ variable before calling equalizeheights() returns valid jquery object. issue $ not inherited child function reason.

making $ global , assigning $ = jquery not option.

any ideas?

you have define equalizeheights in scope of ready callback function

jquery(function($){     equalizeheights($);     var equalizeheights = function($){         $('.header').height(500);     } }); 

if need global,

var equalizeheights; jquery(function($){     equalizeheights = function($){         $('.header').height(500);     }     equalizeheights($); });
