linking so CSS, Scripts from header.php

Hi there

I want to add my own scripts and external CSS stylesheets to header.php, but using relative paths to these sources comes up empty. I can’t even embed an image.

I added my javascripts to a “script” folder withing the theme directory, adn use a path like this:

<script language="javascript" src="scripts/myScript.js"></script>

any idea why these paths won’t work?

thanks
