...for want of a better word.


In order to avoid clashes with Prototype JS library I often preface my
jQuery scripts with this:

var $j = jQuery.noConflict();

$j(document).ready(function(){......

but I think it is probably also good practice to "undo" the no-conflict mode
in case there are other jQuery plugins in scripts that rely on the typical $ namespace.

How can I "undo" and return jQuery to its default status??

Can't you just do the following:

var $ = jQuery;

or

var $ = jQuery.noConflict();
