 * I’ve implemented a direction that the WordPress give on it’s [Using_Javacript](http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Javascript)
   page and it didn’t work. I thought there was something wrong with my code or 
   page or setup or something but the direction
 * > To use Javascript repeatedly within your site, you can either set the call 
   > for the Javascript, or the script itself, in the head of your header.php template
   > file, between the meta tags and the style sheet link, no differently than you
   > would if you were using Javascript in any HTML page. To “load” the Javascript
   > file into your site, in the head, add something like this:
 * ‘<script type=”text/javascript” src=”/scripts/emailpage.js”></script>’
    is totally
   incorrect.
 * How frustrating!
 * How do we get someone to change the codex? For those who want to know, you can
   use this line of code.
    ‘<script type=”text/javascript” src=”<?php bloginfo(‘
   template_url’); ?>/js/maxrating.js”></script>’ The “template_url” will read to
   the root directory of your current template and them after the closing of the
   php code use a forward slash/path/to/your/file.js. If your javascript file isn’t
   in a sub-directory and in the root all you need is the forward slash “/” and 
   the name of the file.
 * I hope this saves someone hours of frustration!

 * Do not just use that line of code. Replace it with your own path and file name.

 * Anyone can create an account at the codex, login, and make changes 🙂
 * It is “just” a wiki, after all.

 * I wasn’t aware of that. Thanks for the info. I’ll get right on it.
