I am trying to blend together a static HTML site with multiple wordpress installs and Thematic has bee a perfect tool because of all the hooks. I am however having one problem. I am using a header navigation based on this one (http://www.noupe.com/tutorial/drop-down-menu-jquery-css.html). Everything works perfectly on the static site, however when I added it to my Thematic based Wordpress install the navigation renders as if javascript is turned off.
Javascript and Jquery are working everywhere else in the Wordpress site just not the global navigation I added.
I am also getting an error with the function that runs the navigation that I don't get on my static installs (Uncaught TypeError: Property '$' of object [object DOMWindow] is not a function).
The static site and wordpress site are as follows.

Any advice would be much appreciated.
