   Hi,

   I am having a few issues with my template file. I have a image viewer which requires javascript to function. The javascript files are in a folder within my theme called js. I have linked the required javascript files to my index.php page through using the following code:

   <script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-1.2.6.js"></script>
   <script type="text/javascript" src="js/startstop-slider.js"></script>

   I have tested this as a oridnary PHP page and it functions fine. However when I upload it to WP it doesn't work. Do I need my js folder to be located elsewhere outside of the theme? or do I need a different piece of code to include it?

   Any help would be great.

   Thanks

   <script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-1.2.6.js"></script>
   <script type="text/javascript" src="js/startstop-slider.js"></script>

   the above should not work using a normal php page, unless that .php page is being loaded on your browser like so:

   http://www.yourdomain.com/wp-content/themes/yourtheme/yourpage.php

   is that how you tested it?

   to use that code inside a theme file, you either need to move the js/ directory into your blogroot, or specify the path from your wordpress' main index.php .. so you would use:

   <script type="text/javascript" src="wp-content/themes/mythemes/js/jquery-1.2.6.js"></script>

   same for the next one, as well.

   Thanks

   I specified the path as you stated and it works perfectly.

   Cheers

   Could somebody help a newbie? This is EXACTLY what I need to do--link the js file under my theme.

   If it helps, I'm using the Inanis Glass theme. Could somebody please tell me where I should put the example:

   <script type="text/javascript" src="wp-content/themes/mythemes/js/jquery-1.2.6.js"></script>

   (with file name changes made of course)

   Thanks for any help you can give me.

   I've created a small plugin called Add JQuery that includes jQuery ... cleaner than hacking the template and hard-linking to a script file.
   
   Download the zip file here.
