JQuery :: 2 Scripts Mixing Functions - How To Separate Them

I have two jQuery scripts running on the same page. One of them dynamically assigns height parameters to the wordpress page. The other is a slideshow script which makes images transition from one to the next in a slideshow.When the slideshow is inserted into the wordpress page, it works fine, but in IE7 there is extra page height whenever there is a slideshow on the page. In other browsers it is fine, and on other pages that dont have a slideshow the page height is fine.Looking at the source code, it seems that the dynamically assigned div height paramaters that are injected into the slideshow divs by the jQuery slideshow script are getting involved in other divs on the page, influencing their height.It seems that the slideshow script is interfering with the page height script. how can I make it so they dont entangle? Here is the page height jQuery script that assigned dynamic height to the "art-content-layout-row" div (the div that controls page height)

Code:

/* begin Layout */
jQuery(function () {
if (!jQuery.browser.msie || parseInt(jQuery.browser.version) > 7) return;

[code]...

When looking at the html source in the page, the slideshow script inserts this jQuery unique number beside the dynamically added div parameters in the slideshow divs like this:

cyclew="666" cycleh="555" jQuery="130236363678267"

It turns out that this same unique number is assigning itself to the art-content-layout-row div which is supposed to be controlled by the other script.I am wondering if the fact that these unique id numbers being the same is causing the issue, as though the system is thinking that these two scripts are somehow the same one?Both scripts are in different directories and called separately in the page footer.
