I guess it really only was 15 hours. And it is my second plugin experiment ever. I'm very grateful for the download, which is the first really clear example I've seen. While there might be hundreds of plugins out there, doing it right, only two in my plugin-folder use "admin_print_scripts-", the rest adds everything to all admin pages. I'm not sure, but looking at your example, gives me the feeling that I might have attempted it in the wrong order, and that I tried to add something to the head too late, when the head was already assembled. Just guessing. As it turned out, the jquery color-picker I wanted to add didn't work in the admin page, so those hours was spent in vain in any case. Still, with your example, I now have a headstart, if I attempt something similar again. Thanks! Weeell, I might have exaggerated a bit. I guess it really only was 15 hours.

I've updated this page with an example plugin doing just what's explained here, no more, no less. You could have found similar examples in literally *hundreds* of plugins.

I've struggled for 17 hours straight, but the only thing that works is the hook 'admin_head'. "admin_print_scripts-$mypage" results in absolutely nothing, and the same with "wp_enqueue_script". Most plugin authors seem to use the plain 'admin_head', and it seems they have a really good reason - to actually get the plugin to work. I've spend considerable time googling for any tutorial, or any readable and clear documentation, and there is none - which also seem to indicate that the advice given here isn't really supported by WP.

Great tip and thanks for your help.
