Wordpress help!! JS not being registered on my theme

used this code in functions;

//Load the Theme JS function theme_js() {

wp_register_script('modernizr', get_template_directory_uri() . 'js/modernizr.custom.js', array('jquery'), '', true );
wp_enqueue_script ('toucheffects', get_template_directory_uri() . 'js/toucheffects.js', array('jquery'), '', true );

}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_js');

Doesn't work...

So in header also put;

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <script src="<?php bloginfo( 'theme_url' ); ?>"></script>

that doesn't work either!! (also tried listing each js separately which makes it show in view source but when you click on it, it can't be found!! )

If I don't have anything in the header, then it won't show on view source!!!

Thanks

You did place the Javascript files in the following directory, right?

/wp-content/themes/<your-theme-name>/js/

If the files are there, it could be a permissions issue. Your web server doesn't have permission to read the file(s)?
