Jquery External Scripts

Question

I am using the following external jquery files in my default.aspx page.

 <script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/jquery-1.2.6.min.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/jquery-ui-personalized-1.5.2.packed.js">      </script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/DefaultTab.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="TooltipScript/jquery.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="TooltipScript/easyTooltip.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/Validation.js"></script>

The first three scripts i have used for tabs. The next two are used for the tooltip plugin. The last script is used for performing validation on my default.aspx page. However my problem is that when i remove tooltip js from the page , then my tab works fine.But as soon as i include them again , tabs dont work. What could be the problem , what is the best way to refer to external js files. How should these js files be ordered inorder for all of them to work. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks

<script type="text/javascript" src="TooltipScript/jquery.js"></script> is this same as <script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/jquery-1.2.6.min.js"></script> — COLD TOLD

You are including jQuery twice. jQuery creates an an object that all plugins are extensions of. So after your first few plugins load, you over write the jQuery object loading it again, and the plugins previously loaded are no longer there

you are referring jQuery library twice, just use the jQuery reference at the top. if you use it again after adding some plugins, it will remove already registered plugins.

<script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/jquery-1.7.1.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/jquery-ui-personalized-1.5.2.packed.js">      </script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/DefaultTab.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="TooltipScript/easyTooltip.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/Validation.js"></script>

,, which one is the jquery refernce ,,, so that means i only need to refer to it once and after that just use the plugins ,,, is that what you meant..Thanks

yes. you can use my order in the answer.Scripts/jquery-1.7.1.min.js may be replace with Scripts/jquery-1.2.6.min.js or Scripts/jquery.js but it is better to download latest version and refer to it.
