I guess I can always just do this:

but I’m still wondering why I got the error.

Ruby looks at the code in line 6, and thinks you’re just calling
javascript_include_tag without any arguments. It then tries to parse
line 7 as a new statement, but doesn’t know what to do with a string
followed by a comma.

If you put the first argument to javascript_include_tag on the same line
(i.e. combine lines 6 and 7), then Ruby will know you’re listing
arguments to javascrip_include_tag, and it’ll work.

Thanks. That means I can do this:

<%=
javascript_include_tag(
“http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.2/jquery.min.js”,
“jquery.rails.js”)
%>
