 * Hey,
 * I’m currently developing a wordpress theme and have a slight problem.
    I want
   to use the a javascript file, which I properly call in the header: `src="<?php
   bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/slider/javascripts/jquery-1.3.2.min.js"` If
   I type now the url ([http://localhost/wp-content/themes/theme/javascripts/jquery-1.3.2.min.js](http://localhost/wp-content/themes/theme/javascripts/jquery-1.3.2.min.js))
   in the address bar of my browser wordpress loads the standard 404 page even though
   the file is there (if I replace localhost with C://xamp/etc. the file shows up).
   I put the file now directly in the root-folder, changed the url in the header
   and it miraculously worked, but I would really prefer to keep the script within
   the theme folder. Why does wordpress block/ignore the script-file when it is 
   placed within the theme-folder? Are there certain file-restrictions (only .css/.
   php and image files or something)? Did anyone else experience this kind of problem?
 * Kind regards
    Max

 * I figured it out,
    the problem was that the scripts themselves hat dots within
   their name (e.g. jquery-1.3.2.min.js), once I renamed them with a dot only in
   front of the file-ending everything worked just fine.
