Question

Preferred way to include relative reference to JavaScript in VS 2008 nested Masterpage.

Answer 1

+1 A:

One tip to take advantage of is the relative path fix-up support provided by the head runat="server" control. You can use this within Master Pages to easily reference a .CSS stylesheet that is re-used across the entire project (regardless of whether the project is root referenced or a sub-application):

The path fix-up feature of the head control will then take the relative .CSS stylesheet path and correctly output the absolute path to the stylesheet at runtime regardless of whether it is a root referenced web-site or part of a sub-application.

Have you tried:

<script type="text/javascript" src='<%# Page.ResolveClientUrl("~/javascript/actions.js") %>'></script>

We are currently using the pounded (#) include with a call to databind() on the head element in the base master code behind. But I am looking for something concrete/best practice.

Answer 3

+4 A:

Use the ScriptManager server control:

  <asp:ScriptManager ID="myScriptManager" runat="server">
    <Scripts>
      <asp:ScriptReference Path = "~/javascript/actions.js" /> 
      <asp:ScriptReference Path = "~/javascript/jquery/jquery-1.2.6.min.js" />
    </Scripts>
  </asp:ScriptManager>
