Question

See the exception

I have a JS include in my master page and it seems to be tripping one of the routes every time.

Is tripping this route:

routes.MapRoute( 'CatalogType', 'Catalog/{group}/{type}/{index}/{browseSize}', new { controller = 'Catalog'     , action = 'Types'     , group = ''     , type = ''     , index = ''     , browseSize = '' } ); 

Is there something I can do to stop this behavior?

PS: I know there is a way to enforce a datatype on these params but for the life of me I cannot find a reference. Am I dreaming?

Looking at the exception it looks like you’re not resolving the virtual path to your javascript file properly on the serverside (i.e. the ~/ bit is ending up being rendered out to the client instead of being resolved into a proper application absoluet path). Where you include your js file you want to include it like this:

<script type='text/javascript' src='<%= Url.Content('~/scripts/swfobject.js') %>' ></script> 

Not like this:

<script type='text/javascript' src='~/scripts/swfobject.js' ></script>
