linking to jquery script

linking to jquery script

Hello all. this is what I have in my head section.
    <!-- jquery -->
    <script src="js/jquery-1.10.1.js"></script>
    <script src="js/myJs.js"></script>

and also tried putting the second script, the js/myJs.js below the footer.
(wich is better btw?)
the folder that holds the index.php & style.css hold the js folder w/the js files in it.

It should all work. but the script won't link or work unless it is typed directly into the head section of the index.php file.
 
bit baffled.
