I need to add a link to a javascript file on some view pages of my components.

Is this a question I can ask here -- i.e., Where/how should I insert the code for this?

thanks once again,
Geoff

If your JS file is required only for one particular layout, then place your code in the concerned VIEW file.

If your JS file is required for your whole component, then place it in the helper file (function : headerDeclarations() )

Note : Always use the Joomla framework syntax to load JS and CSS files.

Great, thank you.

>What are the "helper" files? Where are they located?

Sorry, I found them! - I didn't think to look in the admin folders.

regards,
Geoff
