Integrating with themes

Hello,

I have a theme built using jQuery 1.3.2, I know now that loading it up along with everything else will conflct with Drupals installation of jQuery, but I still need it to be available in my theme for my navigation bar. Even though my menu bar script loads and jQuery loads I still get errors like - mouseenter is not a function, mouseleave is not a function. I can replace them with mouseover and mouseout - but that functionality is undesireable because you cannot select any items that drop down because as soon as you leave the button, the dropdown pops right back up again. How can I use the jQuery in your update module with my menu in my theme without breaking the rest of my site? thanks
