# Javascript on pages

 * Hey, I’m trying to add a little javascript to my posts but NOT my main page. 
   If I stick it in the header it works fine but it shows up on my index as well,
   so I just want it in the singlepost.php but it doesn’t work there, any help would
   be VERY appreciated 🙂
 * PS I put:
    <script type=”text/javascript” src=”myscript.js”></script>
 * in header.php and it works. I want this to load everytime someone views on my
   posts. Thanks in advance!

 * > If I stick it in the header it works fine but it shows up on my index as well
 * Yes because those theme files all call header.php
 * > I just want it in the singlepost.php
 * You could try creating an exact copy of `header.php` – call it something like`
   myheader.php` – and it would contain the javascript you mentioned. Then in `single.
   php` replace…
 * `<?php get_header(); ?>`
 * … with …
 * `<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/myheader.php'); ?>`
 * Also be sure to peruse the docs at the link iridiax gave you.

 * Its not working for me 🙁
 * If anyone has another solution to execute some simple javascript when a post 
   is viewed I will owe you forever. And yes I did read through all of those docs
   before starting this thread.

 * I’m trying to run a script that pops up when a user goes to my individual pages.
   This informs them that the content is ‘locked’ and they have to contact me to
   unlock it.
 * I use this same script on HTML sites without a problem but am having a really
   tough time with wordpress for some reason 🙂

 * Nevermind it appears its working fine in IE but not firefox (and yes I have js
   enabled in ff 😉 ). So I guess its a different issue than I thought, thanks.

 * Hi bombora. Glad to see you making some progress. Perhaps give the Firebug extension
   for Firefox a shot. One of the things it’s good at is debugging javascripts. 
   Beyond that I’m out of ideas.
