where to add jquery javascript

Thanks for the response but as I explained Im pretty new and what Im trying to find out is EXACTLY where in wordpress I should put javascript. Which of the files representing space before the </body> tag does this javascript belong in, again cheers for your help

thanks a million for your help, finally got it sorted, I put it at the bottom of my home.php file and it works, I had tried this before but it didnt work because I didnt know how to nest it (i think thats the right term 🙂 have a great one

Just in case anyone else stumbles into the same issue with the tutorial above and others like it, its solved by inserting

` <script type=”text/javascript” src=”jquery-1.3.2.js”></script>
<script type=”text/javascript”>
$(function() {
var d=300;
$(‘#navigation a’).each(function(){
$(this).stop().animate({
‘marginTop’:’-80px’
},d+=150);
});

$(‘#navigation > li’).hover(
function () {
$(‘a’,$(this)).stop().animate({
‘marginTop’:’-2px’
},200);
},
function () {
$(‘a’,$(this)).stop().animate({
‘marginTop’:’-80px’
},200);
}
);
});
</script> `

just before the </body> tag in footer.php In my case the jQuery file mentioned above is uploaded in my wp installations root directory. Cheers and hope that’l help someone else
