Question

Answer 1

A:

No code behind, but still code in front right?

This will probably do it...

<%= If(Request.ServerVariables("SCRIPT_NAME").EndsWith("<criteria>"), "<script type='text/javascript' src='http:abcxyz.com/zzz'></script>", "")%>

Answer 2

+1 A:

If you make it so the tag is runat=server, you should be able to conditionally add the code as script:

<head runat="server">

  <% If Request.ServerVariables("SCRIPT_NAME") = "value" Then %>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="whatever.js"></script>
  <% Else %>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="whatever_else.js"></script>
  <% End If %>

</head>

the problem is that it needs to be in the body, and if i make the body runat=server, it messes up other things..

@user228058 - why does it need to be in the body? A script reference should be able to be placed anywhere on the page. Conversely, since you would need to have a <form runat="server"> on the page somewhere, you could place this same code inside the form tags.

This should work without runat=server anywhere on the page, as should my example code.

You need to change == to = (it's not C#)

James Gaunt 2010-07-13 17:25:37

@James - tru dat. runat=server is my habit because I rarely use scripting. It can totally be removed. Oh, and changed. Switching back and forth too much.
