Adding CSS/JS via controller magento 1.9.x

Question

Can you please let me know how to add JS/CSS via a controller method

I tried this but isn't working

$head = $this->getLayout()->getBlock('head');
$head->setCanLoadExtJs(true);
$head->addItem('skin_adminhtml', 'adminhtml/testimonial.css');

Answer 1

Try this,

$this->getLayout()->getBlock('head')->addJs('jsfile.js'); //To add root js folder
$this->getLayout()->getBlock('head')->addItem('skin_js','jsfile.js'); //To add js file under the /skin folder
$this->getLayout()->getBlock('head')->addItem('skin_css','cssfile.css'); //To add css file under the /skin folder

Hope it will help you!
