  • 0

I’m trying to include script and style references that will not break on deployment, however I can not even get the references to work locally. I have tried using Url.Content() and MVCContrib’s <%=Html.ScriptInclude("")%>.

My scripts are in a Scripts folder on the root of the site; my styles are in the usual
Content/css/ folder.

The scripts render like this:

<script type="text/javascript" src="/Scripts/MicrosoftAjax.debug.js" ></script>

This will not work in a view page in the Views folder. What am I doing wrong and what is the best way to handle this?

I would have thought Url.Content() would at least work for styles but used in my master page, the link rendered

<link href="/Content/css/Site.css rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

This does not work, because the Master Page is in a Shared folder, so what is really the way forward with this?

    <link href="<%= ResolveUrl("~/Content/css/Site.css")%>" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

    works for your style sheet. but if you are on MVC2 and you have the files in the script dir then you can use the new helper:

    <%=Html.Script("scriptfile.js") %>

    this is better practice as you can also specify a file for release and debug mode:

    <%=Html.Script("scriptfile-min.js", "scriptfile.js") %>
