[support] Guide on how to set up JS in drupal7?

[Jacob Roufa]

While the declaration of how a script must be wrapped in a jQuery function
- (function($) { stuffHere })(jQuery); - holds true for Drupal 7, the
proper way to include a script in a theme is definitely to use the theme's
info file. Personally, one of the first things I do when writing a theme is
to make a script.js that holds all of my custom one-off scripts (such as
show/hide functionality). This method is not limited to including custom
scripts; I also use this to include jQuery plugins that don't currently
have Drupal equivalents.
