# admin_print_scripts not loading javascript, but loading stylesheet?

 * Hi Everyone,
 * I’m working on a plugin where I need a special javascript and css file loaded
   on my plugin’s options page. I’ve enqueued these scripts using the `admin_print_scripts`
   hook, but only the stylesheet is being loaded, but the javascript is being completely
   ignored?
 * I’m using a PHP Class for my Plugin to prevent name collisions and keep everything
   nice and neat. And I am also using an instance of the class instead of static
   methods to keep from having to register a bunch of global variables.
 * in my main plugin file, I load the Class `IBLikeable`, and instantiate it, and
   attach an action to `admin_init` and `admin_menus` as seen here:
 *     ```
       $ibl = new IBLikeable();
       add_action('admin_init', array( $ibl, 'register_settings'));
       add_action('admin_menu', array( $ibl, 'register_admin_menus'));
       ```
   
 * Inside my IBLikeable Class, the `IBLikeable::register_admin_menus()` function
   looks like this: [http://pastebin.com/egVmpL9L](http://pastebin.com/egVmpL9L)
 * I can’t for the life of me figure out why the `wp_enqueue_script` call in the`
   IBLikeable::enqueue_admin` function isn’t working when the style enqueue above
   is working just fine.
 * Can anybody help me debug?

 * I could deduce how it is done from a class object, but staying on familiar ground,
   a basic plugin would define a function that calls wp_enqueue_script(). Then that
   function would be called from the ‘admin_enqueue_scripts’ action.
 *     ```
       function my_load_js(){
         wp_enqueue_script('my-js');
       }
       add_action('admin_enqueue_scripts', 'my_load_js');
       ```
   
 * I hope this is of some help. You basically just need to use a different action
   to enqueue your javascript file.

 * Hi bcworkz,
 * That’s actually what I’ve done in my class. If you look at the pastebin link 
   above, in my plugin class, I’ve a function called `enqueue_admin()`. This does
   a simple test to find out if we’re on my plugin’s settings page, and if we are,
   it registers and enqueues both my stylesheet and my js.
 * The stylesheet is being loaded as expected, but not the Javascript. Can’t figure
   out why. 🙁

 * I’d also like to note, that the script is successfully being registered. I inspected
   the `global $wp_scripts` variable and found my script’s handle in the $wp_scripts
   array. But it’s still not being loaded! ARG!

 * note to self: **Do Not Capitalize the Q in jQuery when referring to its WordPress
   scripts handle**
 * In my call to wp_register_script(), I set ‘jQuery’ as a dependency instead of
   the correct handle ‘jquery’…
 * Don’t make my same mistake.
 * ARG!
