Wordpress jQuery hell

If you were caught in javascript hell, here is a quick fix for you(found here):

you need to add <?php wp_enqueue_script("jquery"); ?> before <?php wp_head(); ?> so it would look like this:

<?php wp_enqueue_script("jquery"); ?>

<?php wp_head(); ?>

also, you may need to rewrite some javascript functions, just like this:

var $j = jQuery.noConflict();

$j(function(){

    $j("#sidebar li a").hover(function(){
     $j(this).stop().animate({
      paddingLeft: "20px&"
     }, 400);
    }, function() {
     $j(this).stop().animate({
      paddingLeft: 0
     }, 400);
    });

});
