This is a short ((Tutorial)).

{REMARKSBOX(type="info" title="Hint")}In Tiki pre-14 trunk, the old structure  ''"styles/mytheme.css - styles/mytheme/*" - "templates/styles/mytheme"'' is not working anymore, it became deprecated for the release of Tiki14. __"templates/styles/mytheme" files should be moved manually to "themes/mytheme/templates" folder__.

You can do it in various ways. Some devs usually use -+styles/custom.js+- (or -+styles/mytheme/custom.js+-) to do most of their custom ((JS)) stuff, mainly so they can use a proper editor that checks for typos etc (and edits via s/ftp etc)

Or you can use the Custom JS pref: -+header_custom_js+- (which actually appears after the JS includes).

In there you can use the jQuery -+$.getScript+- command to load the 3rd party files - like this:

{CODE(caption="Script to include" colors="javascript" ln="1")}
$(document).ready( function () {
    $.getScript("files/some-fancy-library-file.js", function () {
        // Add the code to execute once the library has loaded here
        // ....
    });
});
{CODE}
