Jscript Conflicts

[eluser]Shiju S S[/eluser]
The noconflict function in the code below is not allowing other functions to work: That is all I know.

Code:

<$cript type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
var $j = jQuery.noConflict();
var base_url = "&lt;?php echo base_url();?&gt;";

$j(function()

    {  



  function log( message ) {

   $j( "<div/>" ).text( message ).prependTo( "#log" );

   $j( "#log" ).scrollTop( 0 );
  }



  $j( "#tags" ).autocomplete({

  source: function(req, add){
  var base_url = "&lt;?php echo base_url();?&gt;";
  
       $j.ajax({

                    url: base_url + "searchbox/autocomplete",
    
                    dataType: 'json',

                    type: 'POST',

                    data: {fields:$j("#tags").val()},

                    success: function(data){

                        add(data);
      
                   }

                }); },

minLength: 0,

  select: function( event, ui )

                {

   log( ui.item ?

      "Selected: " + ui.item.value + " aka " + ui.item.id :

      "Nothing selected, input was " + this.value );

  }

  });

    });  

<$script>
