You only use echo when you're linking them inline. So you would never have something like:
echo $javascript->link($scriptname, false); It would either be: echo $javascript->link($scriptname); or: $javascript->link($scriptname, false); Unfortunately, you can't use the $scripts_for_layout variable in the layout or elements included from the layout because usually by that point the variable has already been printed out. Your best bet would be to just place inline link calls in the header section of the layout. On Jun 7, 2:51 pm, Dima <[email protected]> wrote: > vekija, thanks a ton for your help!!
