Question

Due to how paths relate to VS resolving the path to a JS file and then how the actual path at runtime is resolved via the browser, I’ve currently got the following placed at the top of my Master Page within my application so that all my views have the appropriate JS intellisense and resolve correctly for execution:

<% if (false) { %>
    <script src="../../Scripts/jquery-1.3.2.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src="../../Scripts/MicrosoftAjax.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src="../../Scripts/MicrosoftMvcAjax.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<% } else { %>
    <script src="<%= ResolveUrl("~/Scripts/jquery-1.3.2.js")%>" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src="<%= ResolveUrl("~/Scripts/MicrosoftAjax.debug.js") %>" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src="<%= ResolveUrl("~/Scripts/MicrosoftMvcAjax.debug.js") %>" type="text/javascript"></script>
<% } %>

Is this may how others are doing it or is there some crazy better way that’s going to make me look like an ass? Thanks!

If it’s good enough for Scott Guthrie, then I’d consider it the correct way to do it (for now, they could always fix this in VS 2010!).
