I've been looking for a method of including the javascript in the of the page without cluttering my header.php file with the javascript for each SWF file. I thought this method was perfect for my purposes with a little tweaking. I removed the "If single" condition. However, I found that it only works when the post is the 1st post on the index page. It still works on the single page but I need it to work on the Home page while the post appears there (I show the 5 most recent posts on the Home page). How can I accomplish this? Thanks for any help you can give me! I occasionally embed a SWF file in a post.

All the custom CSS I put in WordPress editor (HTML view) will be removed by WordPress automatically when switching views. This did the trick. @Warren, if you use jQuery document ready function, you shouldn't have javascript errors when putting on the header. Cheers, Smart!

That helped me a ton. I had a script that I needed to run only on posts but it was breaking every other page that didn't have the elements it called. What made it more difficult is that it had a secondary element that needed to be called to activate the script. So I added the code above to footer.php, changing customer_header to custom_footer and adding that as a second custom field to the post and it worked perfectly. So if you ever have a script that also has a call which WordPress adds all sorts of CData bits to, call it from footer.php. Awesome stuff. That helped me a ton.
