Javascript in wordpress page, using child theme
-
Hi all.
I’m trying to use some javascript that will display the day, on just one of my pages. Through wordpress I have included this directly on the page:<script type="text/javascript" src="/scripts/happydate.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- happydate(); //--></script> I created a file named happydate.js with the code below and put in a scripts folder under my childtheme directory (wp-content/themes/childtheme/scripts): <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- // Array of day names var dayNames = new Array("Sunday","Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday", "Thursday","Friday","Saturday"); var now = new Date(); document.write("Happy " + dayNames[now.getDay()] + "."); // --> </script> I also tried adding both the codes below (separately, at different times) to my functions.php file (in the same childtheme directory). Neither of them worked for me. <?php function add_my_scripts(){ wp_register_script(‘happydate’, get_bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’).’/js/happydate.js’, array(‘jquery’),’1.0′); wp_enqueue_script(‘happydate’); } add_action(‘init’, ‘add_my_scripts’); ?> < ?php if ( !is_admin() ) { // instruction to only load if it is not the admin area ?? // register your script location, dependencies and version ?? wp_register_script('happydate', ?????? get_bloginfo('stylesheet_directory') . '/scripts/happydate.js', ?????? array('jquery'), ?????? '1.0' ); ?? // enqueue the script ?? wp_enqueue_script('happydate'); } ?>

I have no idea where in the steps above I went wrong, or if all the syntax is correct. Any insight is appreciated. I have a little bit of a grasp on this stuff, but I’m definitely a newbie. Be gentle!
Thanks in advance.
