If you have one block you can put it between the HTML code.
For use in several blocs put the functions in a js file that is added to the header in theme.html

Ok, I thought it might have been possible to reference a file in a block_show function.
So do you mean that I just put it in the template file ?

Thank you.

It all depends on what you really are trying to do. If you are trying to alter an existing block template then you will need to use template override functionality. Or you could be needing to create your own custom block. In that case create your custom block and add your javascript. All depends on what you are trying to do...

Hope this helps,

If there is only one block that has to include it, then you can use:
<script type="text/javascript" src="abc.js">script>
else put it in the head section of your theme.html

No you wouldn't put your js code in the show_block function. Find the module that the block belongs, then look for it's template file under templates/blocks and add the code there. If you don't want to go through all that then add it to the header part of your theme.html file.
