    If so, question 1:

    Right or wrong: in order to implement a .js file the process is as follows:

    1. Upload the file using an ftp program to the desired location in a folder under public_html.

    2. Add the script location to your .php file <head> in this case:

    <script type="text/javascript" src="./javascripts/pagescroller.js"></script>


    Question 2. In the following example, does "./javascripts/pagescroller.js" point to public_html/javascipts/ folder or do I need to remove the "." and replace it with something else. I would assume it would be: "public_html/javascripts/ is what I'd need. However, in some of my other scripts in my template, I've seen this bit of code: src="<?php echo $this->baseurl ?> followed by the folder location.

    Possibly I don't need the "." or public_html either and just /javascripts/pagescroller.js as it knows to look in public_html. Is that true?

    HTML:
    <script type="text/javascript" src="./javascripts/pagescroller.js"></script>

    You should use google cdn unless you are customizing your jquery files.

    I think everything is referenced from your document root folder so no need to have that in your path.

    so it would be:
    HTML:
    <script type="text/javascript" src="/javascripts/pagescroller.js"></script>
    if the .js file is in a folder called javascripts, that is. Is that what you are saying?

    btw: this is not a javascript issue. It is a IIS or Apache issue. The same answer would apply to images, too. Like this

    /images/myimage.jpg

    post the actual URL for your php. Say your php file runs at this location:

    http://www.mywebsite.com/hello.php
