CodeIgniter: How do I include a .js file in view?
codeigniter, php
Solution
It's not the "index.php" file that is the view. The view is whatever is loaded in your controller when you do a
`$this->load->view("viewname");`
The file "viewname.php" can then include the .js files, just as a normal .html (or .php) file would:
<script src="/url/to/javascript.js" />
You may want to create a default view or a "header" view that includes some or all of the (common) .js files for your project.

Problem
Where and how do I include .js files in Views in CodeIgniter? I have tried this: ``` <script type="text/javascript" src="system/application/libraries/jquery.js"></script> ``` As I figured that the index.php is the one that is loading the views, so I'm guessing that every time a page is loaded the current dir path is at root because index.php is located at root. Is this true? The above line doesn't so I am doing something wrong. I have a CodeIgniter project. The path is like this: ``` localhost/CodeIgniter/system/application ``` so which path should I use to include my jquery.js file which is located in ``` localhost/CodeIgniter/system/application/libraries ``` when I want to load the jquery.js file in a View located here: ``` localhost/codeIgniter/system/application/views/till_view.php ```
