@everyone: I found a solution. I’m not sure if this will comply with the best practices for wp_enqueue_spript(), but this is working for me now:

I put my wp_enqueue_script() statements into the functions.php file of my theme; including the call for my own javascript file. What remains in the header.php is just <?php wp_head(); ?>

Then in the functions.php:

<?php
wp_enqueue_script('jquery');
wp_enqueue_script('jquery-ui-core');
wp_enqueue_script( 'onLoad', '/wp-content/themes/my-theme/js/onLoad.js', array( 'jquery' ) );
?>

Give it a go!

Also, don’t forget that loading jQuery this way puts it into .noConflict(). So you need to either use the full “jQuery” object refrence (instead of “$”) or force some other variable, like I did:

var $j = jQuery.noConflict();
$j(document).ready(
	function(){
		footerSlider();
		dropDownMenus();
	});

Best,
Evan

Hi All,
I’m having the identical difficulty with enqueue. I chimed-in just to get email updates on this thread. If it helps anyone see anything new, here is my current (non-functional) snippet:

<?php
wp_enqueue_script('jquery');
wp_enqueue_script('jquery-ui-core');
wp_enqueue_script( 'onLoad', '/wp-content/themes/my-theme/js/onLoad.js', array( 'jquery' ) );
wp_head();
?>

I have also done the ‘my code in the header below wp_head()‘ test my script is fine. We’re missing something in translation here. Where is Otto when we need him?

This is great, but I don’t understand
$page->ID;

How would I pass the ID parameter of $page as an argument; for wp_list_pages(‘exclude=’) for example?

cheers,
Evan
