Our base Masterpage has something like the following

  <head runat='server'>    <title></title>     <script type='text/javascript' src='<%= Page.ResolveClientURL('~/javascript/actions.js')%>'></script>    <script type='text/javascript' src='<%= Page.ResolveClientURL('~/javascript/jquery/jquery-1.2.6.min.js')%>'></script>    <asp:contentplaceholder id='cph_htmlhead' runat='server'>     </asp:contentplaceholder>   </head>

If this Masterpage is the Masterpage for an ASPX page things work fine.

If this Masterpage is the Masterpage for a child Masterpage and then a new ASPX page uses the child Masterpage as it’s MasterPage we see:

Server Error in ” Application.

  1. Use the ScriptManager server control:

      <asp:ScriptManager ID='myScriptManager' runat='server'>     <Scripts>       <asp:ScriptReference Path = '~/javascript/actions.js' />        <asp:ScriptReference Path = '~/javascript/jquery/jquery-1.2.6.min.js' />     </Scripts>   </asp:ScriptManager>
