in your main page...
you link to jquery.js:
<script type="text/javascript" src="/my/path/to/jquery.js"></script>
Then you can either write inline javascript under that...
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
alert("I am ready");
});
</script>
... or you simply link to other external scripts:
<script type="text/javascript" src="/my/path/to/myExternalJS.js"></script>
...as many times as you need to.
<script type="text/javascript"
src="/my/path/to/myOtherExternalJS.js"></script>
There's no functional difference between using an external .js file or
putting your JS in the page itself. Arguably, it's easier to maintain if
it's well-organized in included files... but functionally no different.
Well, there's the advantage of the .js file being cached in the browser in
subsequent page requests... but other than that, functionally no different
:)
Understand that doing <script src="/my/path/to/js.js"></script> is
essentially including the .js on that page.
The only thing to bear in mind is that the files will load in the order
they're specified. So make sure your include to the jQuery file is first.

I have failed as much as I have succeeded. But I love my life. I love my
wife. And I wish you my kind of success.
