 Description   

The $() function in /admindocroot/js/generic.js breaks the prototype.js function of the same name. Would be better to conditionally create it as the functionality for magnolia should be the same. Do it as follows:

function get$Script() {
try

{ $; return $; }

catch(e) {
return function (element)

{ return document.getElementById(element); }

;
}
}
$ = get$Script();

I don't really like the try/catch methodology but I don't know of any other way to check for the $ function that isn't there.
