jquery not working in asp.net mvc after publishing to server

Question

Hello, I've built an mvc application which contains some jquery code. When I run the app from my ide, everything works perfectly. When I publish to the server and open the page, the jquery does not work. I get object expected errors.

Could this be due to my file mappings? here is a sample of my mapping in the app -

<script type="text/javascript" href="../../Scripts/jquery-1.3.2.js"></script>  

I published the app to iis7 successfully, but the jquery is broken. I did publish to an application within an existing web site.

Any thoughts?

Answer 1

You may be experiencing problems with your relative path.

You can try this, which is a path from the application root:

<script type="text/javascript" href="/Scripts/jquery-1.3.2.js"></script>  

Or this C# solution:

<script src="<%= Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery-1.3.2.js") %>" type="text/javascript"></script>

Answer 2

the second line (c# solution) worked for me. Thanks for that!

If you use the first solution, it does not work on the server.
