Question

I want to make texts from a database available in Javascript. I have made Texts.aspx which outputs Javascript code, and I want to include it. The includes have to be done in the right order, because Texts.aspx uses functions from other Javascript files. I tried adding a ScriptReference to this aspx file, but this breaks things. The following code gives a 404 error on ScriptResource.axd.

 <asp:ScriptManager runat="server" EnableScriptGlobalization="true">
     <CompositeScript>
         <Scripts>
             <asp:ScriptReference Path="~/Scripts/textFunctions.js" />
             <asp:ScriptReference Path="~/Scripts/Texts.aspx" />
             <asp:ScriptReference Path="~/Scripts/useTexts.js" />
        </Scripts>
    </CompositeScript>
</asp:ScriptManager>

How do include a dynamically generated Javascript file?

Answer 1

No, this is not possible. A ScriptReference makes a reference to a set of script which are then read from disk, so it is not possible to make a ScriptReference to a HTTP location.
