# Adding javascript to header

 * For my first plugin, I’m trying to add a line of code into the head of the edit
   user profile page. I’m not able to get it to work:
 * `<?php
    /* Plugin Name: user profile js Plugin URI: Description: Add javascript
   to edit user profile page Author: Version: Author URI: */
 * function my_header_content(){
    echo "<script>...</script>";}
 * add_action("edit_user_profile","my_header_content");
 * ?>
 * Any help is appreciated

 * ‘edit_user_profile’ runs long after the head has been closed. Its not going to
   insert anything into the head section of the page. You should be looking at [wp_enqueue_script](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_script#Load_scripts_only_on_plugin_pages),
   admin_head, and admin_print_scripts.
