How to Properly Reference a JavaScript File in an ASP.NET Project?
- by DaveDev
Hi Guys
I have some pages that reference javascript files.
The application exists locally in a Virtual Directory, i.e. http://localhost/MyVirtualDirectory/MyPage.aspx
so locally I reference the files as follows:
<script src="/MyVirtualDirectory/Scripts/MyScript.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
The production setup is different though. The application exists as its own web site in production, so I don't need to include the reference to the virtual directory. The problem with this is that I need to modify every file that contains a javascript reference so it looks like the following:
<script src="../Scripts/MyScript.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
I've tried referencing the files this way in my local setup but it doesn't work.
Am I going about this completely wrong? Can somebody tell me what I need to do?
Thanks
