Relative script path in usercontrol

Question

Hi, I have asp.net usercontrol that is including some js script like this

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="../JScripts/JScripts.js"/>

The problem is that when I am using this usercontrol in some pages, it works correctly, but when using some pages in another folder structure, it fails with the file not found exception message. Changing js path to

~/JScripts/JScripts.js

doesn't help. is there any way to solve this problem decoratively?

Answer 1

How about:

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="/JScripts/JScripts.js"/>

(use the absolute path from the root of your app)

Answer 2

Have you considered specifying path from root?

src="/JScrips/JScripts.js"

Answer 3

you could try ResolveUrl this like...

Page.ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptInclude("JScripts", ResolveUrl("~/JScripts/JScripts.js"));

Answer 4

EDITED:

you always have the option of doing something like this:

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="<%= ResolveClientUrl("~/JScripts/JScripts.js") %>" />
