Hi all,

I designed a custom jquery menu that'll be used on a few pages.  Because of this, I'm hard coding the menu in a skin file to be used on these pages.

Where's the best place to add the following code?

<script type='text/javascript' src='<%= SkinPath %>js/jquery.hoverIntent.minified.js'></script>

<script type='text/javascript' src='<%= SkinPath %>js/jquery.dcmegamenu.1.2.js'></script>

<script type="text/javascript">

$(document).ready(function ($) {

$('#mega-menu-tut').dcMegaMenu({

rowItems: '3',

speed: 'fast'

});

});

</script>

I tried to add it to "page header tag" section of the page settings but that threw some JS errors.  However, when I put the code directly in the skin file, it worked fine.

While I'm not opposed to putting it in the skin file, I was curious if best practice would place it elsewhere.

Thanks,

Mark

There's no real reason why you could not add it to the skin file (at the bottom preferably for SEO).

You can also add your links to the header by using (in DNN 6.1+): 

<%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" Namespace="DotNetNuke.Web.Client.ClientResourceManagement" Assembly="DotNetNuke.Web.Client" %>
<dnn:DnnJsInclude runat="server" FilePath="jquery.cycle.min.js" PathNameAlias="SkinPath" />

Or our style helper skin object:
