Javascript in Wordpress posts

I am fiddling with this for some time already but still dont have the perfect solution.

I have a page where i use a plugin which enables me to put "raw HTML" into a post or page. On this page are tables, forms, javascript etc.

The forms are using a bunch of external javascripts, like

http://www. somesite.com/scripts/somescript.js

I know we have a field below each post where we can put in javascript code, but the documentation for this is VERY cryptic.
I can put in direct code with functions in this field in wordpress, but can i also just put references to external scripts in there?

(Eg. except actual snippets of code i want to put in

<script> http://www. somesite.com/scripts/somescript.js </script>

But this does not seem to work! I also cannot get this to work when i put the script into the post (between my tags where i can post raw HTML).

And i also dont want to put this in the global site HEAD because that would be overkill. Any idea how can i do this, using external JS in wordpress?

    Using Javascript « WordPress Codex

    Did you try the method they give in the Codex?

    p.s. I've never seen any field below the post text area for inserting JS...

    That link there is for a plugin I found. Looks like if you install that, you can just use the shortcode [js] [/js] to put javascript into any post or page. It's on the lower side with downloads (just a bit over 4000) but it might be worth a try if your trying to find the easy way to do it.
