You can override the $ to any custom symbol you want and use it for jQuery manipulation and leave $ for the conflicting library(prototype.js).
Check this out: http://letmehaveblog.blogspot.com/2006/09/using-prototype-and-jquery-together.html
"$" is basically a short for "jQuery", doing jQuery.noConflict() tells jQuery library to not use $ as the short. so $("#id") can be done as jQuery("#id").
Hope it helps.

jQuery-UI is built on top of jQuery. Both jQuery and prototype use $ as the name of their main function. Sounds like jQuery and prototype are fighting over $. You could use jQuery instead of prototype or call jQuery.noConflict() to tell jQuery to let go of $ for other things to use.
