Is it possible to have 2 javascripts in the "head" tags?

When I put them in both my scripts stop working.

I have 2 scripts to run on a specific page.....
1. Slideshow for the top
2. Image viewer for photos

You can see an example here... http://trentonems.com/staff.php Of it not allowing the sideshow to start (just hangs up at first photo) and the thumbnail viewer is not opening up the thumbnails properly into their full size

Your having a script conflict. You can use several scripts has long as they don't conflict.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Try replacing this,
<script type="text/javascript">
$(window).load(function() {
$('#slider').nivoSlider();
});
</script>

with this,
<script type="text/javascript">
var jQ = $.noConflict(true);
jQ(window).load(function() {
jQ('#slider').nivoSlider();
});
</script>

Thanks Eric ..... that a start. Just changed it and it allows the thumbnail viewer script to work properly now but the slideshow at the top is still stuck on the first image. If you click on one of the other pages of the site you can see how the images transition but on the staff page it doesnt. At least for now I have the photo viewer working properly
