I have use one third party extension. In their layout file they have use the below code.



<action method="addJs">
<file helper="rewardssocial/purchase_share/getJs" />
<script>tbt/rewardssocial/purchase/share/reward.js</script>

          Lets start from <action method="addJs">.



          This is the same as calling



          Mage_Page_Block_Html_Head::addJs()


          But if you take a look at methods signature, you will see that it has two parameters.



          public function addJs($name, $params = "")


          That means that content of tags



           <file helper="rewardssocial/purchase_share/getJs" />
          <script>tbt/rewardssocial/purchase/share/reward.js</script>


          will be passed as $name and $params values. Name of tags here means nothing.



          Order is only important.



          <file> tag has no content. But has helper attribute, which tells that the result of helper method execution will be passed as first attribute value.



          So as a result this xml is equal to.



          Mage_Page_Block_Html_Head::addJs(
          Mage::helper('rewardssocial/purchase_share')->getJs(),
          'tbt/rewardssocial/purchase/share/reward.js'
          );


          Also you can specify parameters which can be passed to your helper



          <file helper="rewardssocial/purchase_share/getJs">
          <arg>Now with arg!</arg>
          <!-- more args here -->
          </file>


          This is equal to



          Mage::helper('rewardssocial/purchase_share')->getJs('Now with arg!')
