I just modifed one of the skins in a DNN490 development vmware machine to include this...

<script src="http://jqueryjs.googlecode.com/files/jquery-1.2.6.pack.js"></script>

Then I clicked edit text on a text/html module, switched to the basic textbox, selcted raw mode, and pasted this into the box...

<script>$(document).ready(function() {$(".skinmaster").hide();$(".skinmaster").show("slow");});</script>

and jQuery seemed to work fine without any problems with the control panel, or the module actions menu. this is also without noConflict mode.

Hi,

Not sure if it will help, but I Always inject scripts via the Module Settings > Header.  You won't need to add a new module to the page, edit the skin file, or worry about html encoding.  Check this out.

Thanks,

Mike
