   There's actually a section on adding script to your plugin page

   That's the same link that I posted.

   You really don't want to mess with the backend admin side under most circumstances. I usually put a test for the admin to prevent interfering with that, e.g.
   

   if( !is_admin()){
      wp_deregister_script('jquery');
      wp_register_script('jquery', ("http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js"), false, '1.7.1');
      wp_enqueue_script('jquery');
   }

   This code comes from functions.php in one of my themes that needed the full version of jQuery to be installed in the front end only. Some programmers restrict the loading of javascript to specific pages, but that makes little sense as the script will get cached and it complicates matters.
