Changes since beta 2:

• [New] Ability to avoid global namespace collision of $ and $$ with DOMAssistant.harmonize()
• [Fix] ID selectors containing $ and = do not work
• [Fix] Some events cannot be removed via removeEvent, such as mutation events

Introducing the ‘harmony’ mode

The harmony mode allows DOMAssistant to live with other Javascript libraries on the same page without conflict. To use it, just invoke DOMAssistant.harmonize(), like so:

<script type="text/javascript" src="DOMAssistantCompressed.js"> </script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    DOMAssistant.DOMReady( function() {
        // Use $ and $$ like you always have
    } );
    DOMAssistant.harmonize();
    var divs = DOMAssistant.$('div');
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="AnotherLib.js"> </script>
