Pass Jquery alias into javascript function -

im creating theme wordpress , need use jquery. ive found bits of code online , ive made few bits myself. however, when using jquery provided wordpress in noconflict mode , instead of using $ set "jquery". fine dont want have modify code , code find online use "jquery" instead of $.

so tells me placeing function ($) @ end able use $ jquery alias, in functions scope. fine, hoping work , pass through functions call inside scope. problem is. how can make jquery code uses $ inside "resizeandcenter" function work.

jquery('.artworklist > li > > img').load(function ($){    resizeitems('artworklist'); }); 

this function want able use $ inside dont want have modify code / , code find online.

function resizeitems(elementname){     //do jquery stuff using $ } 

perhaps there alternative way doing or doing wrong?

edit:

my function "resizeitems" on own in js file thats included in page header.

the other code, jquery code in first code block @ bottom of page in script block.

so im bit unsure answer saying wrap function?

you need pass jquery top-level closure containing code. inside $(document).ready() call. basic example looks this:

jquery(function($) {       function resizeitems(elementname){           //do jquery stuff using $       }       $('.artworklist > li > > img').load(function (){           resizeitems('artworklist');       }); }); 

jquery aliased $ inside of closure.
