Hi

I want to insert some Javascript / jQuery into my ASCX skin, and want to know what is the best way to do it?

In the past, I have used the following just below my controls registration (having used the hosted version of jQuery native to DNN 5):

<script type="text/javascript" src="<%=skinpath%>js/easySlider1.7.js"></script>

OR...

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){ 
$("#slider").easySlider({
auto: true,
continuous: true
});
});
</script>

...But I'm not sure this is the best way to do it.

I know Armand D has made references to using jQuery in a couple of threads. Armand - Perhaps you could help..? Otherwise, anyone else who could give insight. I know there was an article by that talks about jQuery in DNN by Joe Bronkman (http://blog.theaccidentalgeek.com/), but I want a code snippet example, please... ...if possible.

Thanks in advance.

 As Joe said, the first method is our prefered  way too.

With DNN 5 you don't really have a need to inject the Jquery, but it's a valid method as well.  Personally, I don't like loading anythinn that's not going to be used, so I would do it in the skin, but if the code was to be used everywhere and you had multiple skins it might make sense.  Or use a skin widget, you don't need to change the skins, just the widget.
