I'm also having trouble loading an external javascript file. I do know the jquery is loaded by default with x-cart so you don't need to reference it again.
PHP Code:
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="{$SkinDir}/customer/javascript/jquery.nivo.slider.pack.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="{$SkinDir}/customer/javascript/sliderConfig.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
should be
PHP Code:
<script src="{$SkinDir}/customer/javascript/jquery.nivo.slider.pack.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="{$SkinDir}/customer/javascript/sliderConfig.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
Where these two lines go is the key question. I can't figure that out. I'd like to load them with all other JavaScript files as one JavaScript file. Maybe someone else can help..
