Question

Hi there,

When I put the following code on my page.

<script type="text/javascript" src="../../Scripts/jquery-1.4.1.js" />

Then anything below will became nothing, can anyone tell me why?

Thanks alot.

Sorry, I am very new in web development.

Answer 1

The first thing to check is that the path to the script file is valid and the file exists.

I'm assuming the latter, but as you are specifying a relative path to the scripts folder, make sure that it resolves to the correct location.

Without seeing your directory structure I can't say more.

Answer 2

Use an absolute href for the script rather than a relative href. ASP.Net can be ... picky about href's that go above the level of the VD, and I bet that's what's happening here.

Answer 3

Is that relative src path visible from your page? I'm thinking it's not.

Answer 4

We need more information to fully answer your question.

Check:

1.) The script is within the block.

2.) Your document is well-formed (validates) and has a document type definition.

3.) The script exists.

If still no luck, post back with the entire contents of your xHTML document and the browser in which the problem occurs.

Answer 5

Script tags are not allowed to be auto closed:

<script type="text/javascript" src="../../Scripts/jquery-1.4.1.js" ></script>

Answer 6

You cannot close the tag with />. You must do the following:

<script type="text/javascript" src="../../Scripts/jquery-1.4.1.js"></script>

Answer 7

I can guess. You have to close your script file using </script> not simple <script .. /> Try like this. Otherwise some other code base might cause the same problem.
