 * Hey guys,
 * I want to alter my registration form and need some javascript for it. I would
   like to use the jquery-library, but cannot manage to include it via wordpress-
   functions.
 * As in [WordPress Function Reference – wp_enqueue_script](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_script)
   I use the `init`-Hook, after trying `get_header`, `wp_head`, `wp_enqueue_scripts`
   but neither of them worked.
 *     ```
       add_action('init', array(&$this, 'add_jquery'));
       function add_jquery(){ wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery' ); }
       ```
   
 * What am I missing?

 * Why are you trying to re-load jQuery?

 * Funny – if it would have been loaded, my test should have worked but didn’t. 
   So I thought, I needed to load jQuery.
 * As my function didn’t work, I hardcoded the import of jQuery.
    I tested it right
   now – without my hardcoded jQuery-Import my Script does not work, so jQuery is
   most likly not imported. I even searched the html-code, but as expected didn’t
   find anything about jQuery. Maybe the jQuery-Lib is not loaded for the registration
   page.
