javascript problems

  • Earlier today i thought i typed in the right code in my php function file for adding Javascript which was wp_enqueue_script( Unfortunately, an error occured i was unable to fix the error as a consequence i lost all my work. Thankfully, i reinstalled wordpress and i have got most of my work that i lost back. To avoid making the same mistake again can somebody please tell the correct method of adding javascript to wordpress.
    Thank you

    And remember: make backups of your files before you edit them. ??

    Thanks Jan, I have read that before. The strange thing is that i typed in the exact code that was listed wp_enqueue_script( in theme functions and it did not work. Backups you mean copy and paste in notepad? I dont want this to happen again. Any advice would be most welcome.

    As you’ve know, when you are using add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_scripts_method'); you need to (typically) add that your theme’s functions.php file.

    If you are editing functions.php then make a copy of that file before you edit it. You can usually do that via your hosts file management tool or plain FTP.

    By keeping a backup copy then if something goes wrong you can put it back the way it was before you edited it. It’s a good way to get out of a problem that you may have created.

    For editing notepad does work, but you may like Notepad++ better. It formats your code as well as provided line numbers.
