Based on your responses in the comments here is the answer:

//This line defines what JavaScript file you wish to add, change it as needed.
$myJsFile = JURI::Base() . 'templates/my_template_name/js/myJsFile.js';

//this line fetchs the jdocument object which is needed to add items to the head (amongst other things)
$document =& JFactory::getDocument(); //Drop the & if PHP5

//This line adds the previously setup JS url
$document->addScript($myJsFile);

If you want to add or something custom like IE conditional tags then see here for more info: http://docs.joomla.org/Adding_JavaScript_and_CSS_to_the_page on how to use this object.
