Perhaps you're having problem serving up JS files from a controller
action?

If so, make sure you set layout to null/ false in the controller, so
that you don't get your site's general HTML, which would stop the JS
from parsing.
This will allow you to say <script src="/some_controller/
some_js_action" ></script>

Also, if you're desperate to have an .js extension, you couold
consider using cake's extension parsing features to provide this.

And finally, imho, generating javascript from PHP doesn't lead to
maintainable code. I prefer to keep variables in the main HTML page,
and let the included JS files find the dunamic content from there....
just my opinion!
