drupal_add_js

Search for: drupal_add_js

This is documentation for this function. It is not clear where I would use this. Is it only in the template files? Or can it be called in page callbacks?

I guess as the next example shows this can be called duing module init.

api reference to drupal_add_js


function satya_test_module_init()
{
  drupal_add_js(
      drupal_get_path('module','satya_test_module')
             .'/js/some.js');
}
