Add Admin JavaScript

Ever want to introduce custom dynamic functionality to your WordPress admin pages and otherwise harness the power of JavaScript? Any modification you may want to do with JavaScript can be facilitated via this plugin.

Using this plugin you’ll easily be able to define additional JavaScript (inline and/or by URL) to be added to all administration pages. You can define JavaScript to appear inline in the admin head, admin footer (recommended), or in the admin footer within a jQuery jQuery(document).ready(function($)) {} section, or reference JavaScript files to be linked in the page header. The referenced JavaScript files will appear in the admin head first, listed in the order defined in the plugin’s settings. Then any inline admin head JavaScript is added to the admin head. All values can be filtered for advanced customization (see Filters section).
