I have a master page with the following lines inside my <head> tags.

<link href="Styles/Style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script src="Scripts/navmenu.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

When I navigate to a page that uses URL routing, the lines above generate the following HTML.

<link href="../../Styles/Style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script src="Scripts/navmenu.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Based on the mapped URL, the stylesheet link is correct. How can I get the script link to also be correct?

P.S. I tried setting runat="server" in the script link but that just seems to confuse ASP.NET. The entire project fails to compile based on bogus errors reported in my JavaScript file. (The javascript file runs fine otherwise.)

    It looks like the best answer is this:

    <link href="Styles/Style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script src='<%= ResolveClientUrl("~/Scripts/navmenu.js") %>' type="text/javascript"></script>

    Note that if I use the ResolveClientUrl() for the stylesheet <link> tag, it doesn’t work. Apparently, there is special handing for this tag.
