Where and how do I include .js files in Views in CodeIgniter?

I have tried this:

<script type="text/javascript" src="system/application/libraries/jquery.js"></script>

As I figured that the index.php is the one that is loading the views, so I’m guessing that every time a page is loaded the current dir path is at root because index.php is located at root. Is this true?

The above line doesn’t so I am doing something wrong. I have a CodeIgniter project. The path is like this: 

localhost/CodeIgniter/system/application

so which path should I use to include my jquery.js file which is located in

localhost/CodeIgniter/system/application/libraries

when I want to load the jquery.js file in a View located here:

localhost/codeIgniter/system/application/views/till_view.php

    It’s not the “index.php” file that is the view. The view is whatever is loaded in your controller when you do a

    $this->load->view("viewname");

    The file “viewname.php” can then include the .js files, just as a normal .html (or .php) file would:

    <script  src="/url/to/javascript.js" />

    You may want to create a default view or a “header” view that includes some or all of the (common) .js files for your project.
