    HI,

    I need to add a script to the header.php but I don't want to do that in the framework for obvious reasons. I would normally do this through the CMS header section but the code needs to load earlier in the file than at the end as it is a mobile code and will otherwise load everything before it loads the script I am adding.

    I'd like to do so in the functions.php but I don't know PHP. Can someone please help me out with the proper code to insert a script into the top of the header?

    Thanks!

    Is it dependant on jQuery or not?

    You can look in the functions file of many SP child themes and see how its done correctly.

    Here's the way it should be be done except for Google Analytics http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_script

    Thanks Brad,

    It's Javascript for a mobile redirect:

    <script src="http://static.mobilewebsiteserver.com/redirect.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">Mobile_redirect("http://m.yoururl.com");</script>

    It seems like the header hook only allows you to link into it right before the </head> tag. Is there a way to insert something right after the <head> tag?

    Yes. If you check the genesis hooks, use the one which executes exactly where you want.

    The Genesis Simple Hooks plugin includes info about exactly where each hook executes in relation to HTML tags.

    Perfect, Thanks Brad! I found that the genesis_meta hook works for my purposes.

    Cheers,
    Sarah
