I should be sleeping but this is really bugging me. I can’t get a simple javascript alert box to display in my asp.net project. Hopefully someone can see what I’m doing wrong. My test page is this:

<%@ Page Title="" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Site1.Master" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="JSTest.aspx.cs" Inherits="Proj.JSTest" %>

<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="Header" runat="server">

<script src="Scripts/jquery-1.4.1-vsdoc.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="Scripts/jquery-1.4.1.js" type="text/javascript" language="javascript" >

    $(document).ready(function() {
        alert("Working");
    });



</script>
</asp:Content>
<asp:Content ID="Content2" ContentPlaceHolderID="Main" runat="server">
</asp:Content>

The masterpage is pretty standard as well. Here’s the header part of it (which I figure is the key bit)

<head runat="server">
    <title></title>



     <%--<script src="Scripts/jquery-1.4.1.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="Scripts/jquery-1.4.1-vsdoc.js" type="text/javascript"></script> --%>

    <link href="App_Themes/Default/Default.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />


    <asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="Header" runat="server">

    </asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
</head>

I know I must be missing something obvious – probably just need sleep :D. But if anyone can see why this isn’t working, that would be great!

Thanks!

    Try putting it in another script tag, but without the src attribute.

    <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" >

    $(document).ready(function() {
        alert("Working");
    });

</script>

    Or put it in a separate file and include the file using the src attribute.

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