Question

I’m using jQuery Lightbox for my image gallery.
The URL for the button image is ‘../../Content/Lightbox/lightbox-btn-next.gif‘
That works fine if my URL is ‘localhost/Something1/Somtehing2‘
If I use another route like ‘localhost/Something1/Something2/Something3‘ then URL to button images is incorrect.
Can I use Url.Action() inside .js files?
This is how I call .js files:

<script type="text/javascript" src="<%= Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery.lightbox-0.5.js") %>"></script>

Answer 1

You can’t use Url.Action() inside .js files. But you can define global variable and use it in you js file.

<script type="text/javascript">

    var imageUrl = "<%= ... %>";

</script>
