I try to make Folder for things in my ASP.Net Application (e.g. all with Finance in /Finance).
No I bind an JavaScript in the MainPage:
<script type="text/javascript" src="Helper/jquery-1.3.2.min.js"></script>
But when I now open ~/Finance/Payment.aspx I get an JavaScript Error with "Path ~/Finance/Helper/jquery..." not found.
What to do?
Your path Helper/jquery-1.3.2.min.js is a relative path. So when you go into /Finance the browser is looking for jQuery in /Finance/Helper/jquery-1.3.2.min.js.
A simple way around this is to use absolute paths
<script type="text/javascript" src="/Helper/jquery-1.3.2.min.js"></script>
Or you can use a ScriptManager which allows you to use the tilde
<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server">
<Scripts>
<asp:ScriptReference Path="~/Helper/jquery-1.3.2.min.js" />
</Scripts>
</asp:ScriptManager>
As a last resort if you have issues with the ScriptManager you can also do this
<script type="text/javascript"
src="<%= Page.ResolveClientUrl("~/Helper/jquery-1.3.2.min.js") %>">
</script>
You could always use ResolveClientUrl in the script src attribute (you'll need to make the path to your JavaScript file an app root relative path with the "~/"):
<script type="text/javascript" src="<%= ResolveClientUrl("~/Helper/jquery-1.3.2.min.js") %>"></script>
