Question

I have a directory structure in my project (something) similar to this one:

Root
  |
  |- Utilities
  |
  |- Modules
      |
      |- Admin

in the admin directory, I have a simple page default.aspx and a javascript file validation.js

I am just trying to refer to this file in my aspx page like

<script src="validation.js" ...></script>

since I am using route handlers, my url will be like this template

http://mysubdomain.mysite.com/admin/UserId/manage

(replace userid with a triple des encrypted string and you are set)

so since the relative path is being used to access the js file, when I try to check in firebug, its trying to access the js file with this path:

http://mysubdomain.mysite.com/admin/UserId/manage/validation.js

of course, its not present. the only way I see is to specify full relative path

src="\modules\admin\validation.js"

surely, there should be some way I can use this validation js without the full relative path. How to get that?

thanks.

ps: this is all in .aspx page and not codebehind (.cs)

Answer 1

I have had this problem too but never been able to do anything about it. I usually end up using a full relative path and if the directory changes, well, I have to change it manually everytime. I see no other way to do this.

Of course, I would love to be proved wrong.
