After looking at this and trying it out I found it actually didn't allow more than one instance of jquery to run at a time. After searching around I found that this did just the trick and was a whole lot less code.
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script>var $j = jQuery.noConflict(true);</script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
console.log($().jquery); // This prints v1.4.2
console.log($j().jquery); // This prints v1.9.1
});
</script>
So then adding the "j" after the "$" was all I needed to do.
$j(function () {
$j('.button-pro').on('click', function () {
var el = $('#cnt' + this.id.replace('btn', ''));
$j('#contentnew > div').not(el).animate({
height: "toggle",
opacity: "toggle"
}, 100).hide();
el.toggle();
});
});
