This may be a painfully simply question for which I will be mocked but I am having difficulty in using filepaths in master pages. I believe this is because if a page in a sub-directory to using the master page then the filepath is incorrect.

To fix this I need to get the filepath from the root but I can’t seem to get it working.

I tried:

<script type="text/javascript" src="~/jQueryScripts/jquery.js"></script>

and

<script type="text/javascript" src="../jQueryScripts/jquery.js"></script>

No luck on either!

Any ideas on how I can tell it to get the filepath from the root?

  1. I’m just assuming by filepath, you actually mean url (or uri, I forget which one is partial).

    Without the ~, the first example should work. <script type='text/javascript' src='/jQueryScripts/jquery.js'></script> would cause the browser to request http://www.example.com/jQueryScripts/jquery.js (where http://www.example.com is your domain).
