No, don't do that.  That skips all of Drupal's JS handling and compression and 
caching mechanisms, and is totally not portable across different sites.  Hard 
coded paths are never correct.

If you're on Drupal 5, then call drupal_add_js from a module or at the top of 
your template.php file.

If you're on Drpual 6, it's even easier.  Simply add the following line to 
your theme's .info file:

scripts[] = jquery.corner.js

And then visit the themes admin page to refresh the info cache.  Drupal will 
handle it from there.
