How can i put jquery in an external file?

[benjamin.morgan]

I have a javascript file but when I put my Jquery in it it stops working even though it works whenever it is in script tags in the head section. Please explain why it should or shouldn't work

difficult to say without a live link, but my guess would be that you are incorrectly linking it from your head.

are your scripts in a separate folder, and are they being called to that address?
