You can use:
<% javascript :defaults, ''your_custom_java_page'',
''another_page'' %>
in your application layout file.
You can also create the following in your application_helper.rb file
def javascript(*files)
content_for(:head) { javascript_include_tag(*files) }
end
And if you want specific content on a page you could place:
<%= javascript(''your_custom_file'') %>
However, keep in mind that when you go to production later on, you''ll
want to probably combine all those files into one file, cleaned of white
spaces, and I use a plugin called Asset Packager which instead of doing
all of the above, does the following:
<%= javascript_include_merged :base %>
Which if you are in development mode, it knows to just use the defaults,
but when you are in production mode, it knows to use the base_packaged
files.
