To add your js code in all pages, let's do it as well as it should.

First, you have to create a new js file, then you declare this js file because Magento doesn't know it yet.

1. Declare js:

    app/design/frontend/{your_package_theme}/{your_theme_name}/layout/local.xml

    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <layout version="0.1.0">
        <default>
            <reference name="head">
                <action method="addItem"><type>skin_js</type><name>js/glob-messages.js</name></action>
            </reference>
        </default>
    </layout>

2. Create glob-messages.js file :

    skin/frontend/{your_package_theme}/{your_theme_name}/js/glob-messages.js

    /*Your js code goes here...*/

^{Flush cache, then your code is in place.}
