Thumbnail view does not work with jQuery

I started using the thumnail view on a site that I was building for a customer. All of a sudden my jQuery script stopped working, but just on the thumbnail view page. After some digging I found that the thumbnail view resets the meaning of $, which is essential in writing jQuery scripts. Thanks a lot Microsoft!

The solution is to wrap all your jQuery scripts with the following function definition:

(function ($) {

    // Your custom jQuery code

})(jQuery);

This will work for your own scripts, but if you have imported third party script libraries that does not wrap their code properly, they will fail.
