Are you trying to do this in a content item or a component? If you're trying to do it in a component, this is the way to add a JavaScript file to the head portion for only that page:

I did this on one of the sites I built a while back. I had it set so that a plugin would search for tags like {js sample.js} in content items, extract the file name, add the script to the document, then search and replace the tag out of the article.
