jqcloud and bootstrap conflict

Question

I am using Bootstrap with jqcloud and find the jqcloud stops working when the Bootstrap is added. The issue is related to versions in jquery. I am asking for help with this statement which fails:

$("#headerwordcloud").jQCloud' is not a function
$("#headerwordcloud").jQCloud(hword_list);

For the JQCLOUD

<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8/jquery-ui.js"></script>
 <script type="text/javascript" src="./js/wordcloud.js"></script>
 <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="./css/jqcloud.css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="./js/jqcloud-1.0.4.js"></script>

The way you are loading your scripts at the moment you are overwriting the methods that jQCloud will add to the jQuery / $ object(s) when you load jQuery a second time. Load jQuery and jQuery UI first, then add your plugins depending on them:

<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.10.2/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="./js/wordcloud.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="./js/jqcloud-1.0.4.js"></script>
<script src="//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/twitter-bootstrap/2.3.1/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<script src="/plugins/jquery.layout.js"></script>

Note that I omitted the stylesheets in the example.

In the (unlikely) case that jQCloud requires an older version of jQuery you can use an approach like this

I solved it finally by moving the jquery include near to the end of the list — user2580874, Jul 27 '13 at 11:56
