C# WebBrowser not loading local Javascript file

Question

I am using the C# WebBrowser control. My HTML renders fine. However, I need to keep external files on the local computer. References to the local copy of files do not work.

How do I write the HTML to load locally stored files?

This works:

<script type='text/javascript' src='https://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js'></script>

This works when loading a file directly in to a browser, but not through the C# WebBrowser control:

<script type='text/javascript' src='./jquery-latest.min.js'></script>

Adding the full path gets rid of error messages, but still does not work.

<script type='text/javascript' src='file:///C:/<full path>/jquery-latest.min.js'></script>

I have tried adding this to the first line of the html file which does not solve the problem.

Just put your local js file in the same directory with your html file. Then use this will do

<script type='text/javascript' src='./jquery-latest.min.js'></script>

Edited question to clarify issue. Not so fast. It works if I load the html file into a browser. But if I load the html file through the C# WebBrowser control, the external file is not loaded. It's a path issue. I specified the full path and still not working, ie: file:///c:/...
