If JScript code is brought to the page via the javaScript classvar
class LP(athena.Livepage):
   javaScript = ('scripts/somescripts.js, 'scripts/otherscripts.js')

I end up with a static path to the scripts and they cling to Firefox.

How would you suggest to bring in additional (foreign, third party) 
libraries?

Do I have to use the naming kludge or is there a better way.
