    <p>I've read all the posts and the documentation on wp_enqueue script... but I've NEVER successfully gotten it to work.</p> <p>This is what I'm doing that works:</p> <pre><code>&lt;script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.1/jquery.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.16/jquery-ui.min.js"&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt; MY CODE &lt;/script&gt; </code></pre> <p>I know I know I know this isn't the right way to to do it. So here's what I've tried instead:</p> <pre><code>wp_enqueue_script('jquery'); wp_head(); </code></pre> <p>No luck.</p> <pre><code>add_action('init', 'addscripts'); function addscripts() { wp_enqueue_script('jquery'); } wp_head(); </code></pre> <p>No luck.</p> <pre><code>//in the theme's functions.php file add_action('init', 'addscripts'); //add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'addscripts'); //this also doens't work function addscripts() { wp_enqueue_script('jquery'); } </code></pre> <p>I've also tried the same approaches with the link to the external jquery library at google instead of the <code>jquery</code> tag. I've also tried de-registering and then registering the jquery script. Never works. </p> <p>So I think these are the key questions:</p> <ol> <li><p>Is there something wrong with my call to the <code>wp_enqueue_script()</code> function?</p></li> <li><p>Where should it go? <code>functions.php</code>? <code>header.php</code>?</p></li> <li><p>Is there a specific hook that I need to be using that's not mentioned? <code>'init'</code>? <code>'template_redirect'</code>? <code>'wp_enqueue_scripts?'</code>?</p></li> </ol> <p>Please, no copy/pasted snippets from the <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_script" rel="nofollow">codex</a>! I've read it 50 times and tried them all. I promise.</p> <p>I'm experimenting with a clean installation of WP3 and adding the above code to the default twentyeleven theme.</p>

    1. COI don't know what you want from us. All three of the questions you added with your last edit have their answers at [Wordpress.org](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_script).

    2. COI'm the first to tell people to "RTFM" but that's not the problem in this case. The codex is extremely unclear on this topic. The documentation is sparse, and there is a TON of conflicting information elsewhere. That being said... I think I solved my problem (see my answer below).

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
