Code improvement

Removed/modified code related to "var $j = jQuery.noConflict();" which is now considered obsolete.

this was needed on older firmwares due to old jquery. does this affect minimum version support?

Sorry, I don't really understand the question about "minimum version support" WRT jQuery.

My current understanding is as follows. According to dave14305, the changes related to the line "var $j=jQuery.noConflict();" were made to ensure compatibility & avoid conflicts with John's forked F/W builds. However, John (aka john9527) has essentially stopped the development of his fork. The last official release was issued on 2021-Dec-19, and the last Development-Beta release was issued on 2022-Aug-03. So for all intents and purposes, John's fork has been abandoned for at least 2 years now, and no one else is stepping up to take his place. So the current recommendation is to remove those "$j" changes since they are now considered obsolete and are starting to cause some issues with the latest RMerlin F/W builds.

I hope this helps to provide more context.
