How do you include javascript in a sub template using Genshi?

I am having great difficulty getting to grips with how Genshi includes
work in Turbogears.

Any javascript references I put in the head of my sub template are not
being rendered, only those in the master template.

Here is my sub template:
http://pastebin.com/m63cc0d2a

and here is my master template:
http://pastebin.com/mda20b9d

Can I get some advice on this?

There doesn't appear to be any Genshi sample documentation which has
CSS or JS in a sub template. I'm assuming this has to be possible but
no luck working out the right syntax.

Thanks

The match blocks in your master.html template don't include the
contents of the element being matched.

For example, your match block for <head> *replaces* the <head> element
in the sub-template. To include the contents of the replaced <head>
back into the match results you need to put ${select('*')} in the
match block somewhere. Or ${select('script')} if all you want are the
scripts.

In the genshi tutorial,
there was a line:

${select('*[local-name()!="title"]')}


it can help you.

the tag in the sub page's head will not be auto get by the master page.
you must add ${select('*[local-name()!="title"]')} to do that.


also,
<title py:replace="''">remixable.tv</title>

in the master page can change to 
<title py:with="title = list(select('title/text()'))">${title or 'remixable.tv'}</title>


the meta tag in the sub page seems like useless.

that's it.

Thanks for the help.

I also discovered that writing script tags in the form <script />
was causing all kinds of quiet grief which disappeared when I rewrote
as

<script src="${tg.url('/static/javascript/jquery-1.2.6.min.js')}"
type="text/javascript"></script>

why not just say:
{{{
<script src="/static/javascript/jquery-1.2.6.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
}}}
