1) Don't change existing
1) Don't change existing modules, it will make upgrading a pain. Put your drupal_add_js() in a custom module or in your template.php.
2) Assuming you use jQuery for your javascript: read the jQuery documentation (http://docs.jquery.com/Main_Page) or search google to find this (Drupal :-)) page, for example: http://jquery.open2space.com/node/15
3) if you just behave as a kind and respectful forum user, "pls reply" will not be necessary.
JQuery to javascript
Actually m thorough with javascript and not JQuery so is it that i have to use JQuery for drupal forms...???I cannot use simple Javascript like say i want to put javascript code for one form.so I cannot put in page.tpl.php....???And incase if yes then how do i refer to elemnts in drupal as we dont have form name for drupal...how i will b able to use something like document.form.checkbox.value.....???
thank u...
You can use your own
You can use your own javascript code, no problems. Many developers like jQuery because it allows you to write powerful, cross-browser javascript with very little code. I'd advice you to look into it and see if you like the idea behind jQuery. But plain javascript is fine too.
The drupal_add_js function is not limited to jQuery, it's meant to add all sorts of javascript. It's strongly recommended to use drupal_add_js instead of adding the javascript directly to your page.tpl.php.
ok but incase of that where
ok but incase of that where do i have to put the add drupal_add_js () statement ..??in which of the hook of my module..???and what about refering to particular elements in the form...???how will i do that..???because i searched a lot but culdnt find to refering to like checkbox in drupal throgh normal javascript code like document.form.checkbox.value as there is no form name ....
Thank u..

Dman gave you the link to the handbook page about drupal_add_js. Why not read it?
I can't help you with your javascript question - you said you're good at javascript, right? I'm not. When I need javascript, I use jQuery.
