How to auto load jacascript for all pages in the backend?

In the frontend, the javascript with jscript_ will auto-load. How to do that in the backend?

Re: How to auto load jacascript for all pages in the backend?

Do you really need it on EVERY admin page?

In v1.5.5:

To make it available on EVERY admin page (not recommended), I suppose you could stick a call for it into /admin/includes/general.js or /admin/includes/menu.js
Or to put it on the SPECIFIC PAGE where you need it, simply edit the admin/whatever_page_name.php file and put the necessary <script> tag in the section that outputs the <head> html.

There will be improvements in v1.6.0 for making js easier to implement on the backend. But for v1.5.5 the above is probably the best approach.

Maybe you should just use the Configuration Search/Lookup inside the Admin->Tools->Developer Toolkit screen.
