title: Adding external javascript files to magento header
body: <p>I am trying to add some external javascript files to the magento cms but somehow they don't seem to work, though they display alright in the head section.</p>
  
  <p>I am adding following lines of code to the <strong>head.phtml</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;!--pankaj js edition--&gt;
  
  &lt;script src="&lt;?php echo $this-&gt;getJsUrl(); ?&gt;jQuery_1205141001.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  &lt;script src="&lt;?php echo $this-&gt;getJsUrl(); ?&gt;Common_1205141001.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  &lt;script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5.1/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>They are showing in the head section when the page is rendered, but doesn't seem to do the work they are supposed to be the doing.</p>
  
  <p>Am, I doing something wrong. Because the files work well in simple html page. Do i need to add the files somewhere else. Sorry to bother but i am a newbie for magento. </p>
