using the ~/ path with script files?

[Milsnips]

hi there,

i'm currently using the following line:

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

but i want to do the following, as the script needs to be used in many pages
at varios folder depths ( it is placed in my master page).

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"
src="~/scripts/timer.js"></script>

doesnt ASP.NET 2.0 pick up that i've put the "~/" symbol in the script SRC
parameter, as it only works on the pages within the SRC root "../" which im
currently using.

any help appreciated.

thanks,
Paul.

Hi,

hi there,

i'm currently using the following line:

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

The "language" attribute has been deprecated, and you should remove it.

but i want to do the following, as the script needs to be used in many pages
at varios folder depths ( it is placed in my master page).

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"
src="~/scripts/timer.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript"
src="/scripts/timer.js"></script>

This looks for the "scripts" folder at the root of the website.

HTH,
Laurent

hi Laurent,

it isnt solving my problem, this is the folder heirarchy i have, and where
my javascript works and doesnt


ROOT
SCRIPTS/
timer.js
TEMPLATES/
main.master - with following line: <script
type="text/javascript" src="../scripts/timer.js"></script>
EN/
projects.aspx - javascript works on this file.
PROJECTS/
active.aspx - javascript DOESNT work here..
completed.aspx - javascript also DOESNT work here..


I hope you understand the folder heirarchy i;ve done, the BOLD items are
folders

regards,
Paul

Hi,

hi Laurent,

it isnt solving my problem, this is the folder heirarchy i have, and where
my javascript works and doesnt


ROOT
SCRIPTS/
timer.js
TEMPLATES/
main.master - with following line: <script
type="text/javascript" src="../scripts/timer.js"></script>

I think I suggested src="/scripts/timer.js"

The masterpage is a control. The path to the "scripts" folder is
relative to the page (ASPX), *not* to the master.

My suggestion is an absolute path pointing to the "scripts" folder in
the website root. I still think it should work.

HTH,
Laurent

Hi there,

Try this one:

<script language="javascript" src="<%=ResolveClientUrl("~/scripts/timer.js")
%"></script>

or in master page load event

Page.ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptInclude("timerScript",
ResolveClientUrl("~/scripts/timer.js"));

<script language="javascript"

That's deprecated syntax - you shouldn't be advising people to use it...

<script type="text/javascript"

 

[Guest]

OK OK Mark, i focused on src attribute

 

[Guest]

Never mind what Mark said. I liked it!
