I want to use a JavaScript file, lying in the root folder. How can I include that JS file?
-
Use "JavaScript" or "Javascript" or even "javascript." JavaScript is an implementation of ECMAScript and has nothing to do with Java.user166390– user1663902009-11-03 18:51:18 +00:00Commented Nov 3, 2009 at 18:51

Or even "JS" would do. And JScript is another story...Ateş Göral– Ateş Göral2009-11-03 18:52:29 +00:00Commented Nov 3, 2009 at 18:52

It should be the same as including it in any standard html page..
<script type="text/javascript" src="/scriptname.js"></script>
If this isn't exactly what you are looking for let me know and I'd be happy to expand as far as I can.

The standard way is to use type="text/javascript" instead of the language attribute.

Actually
language attribute is used for old browser compatibility but the current modern browsers is now using type="text/javascript"If you need to include the JavaScript from the code behind of a page or WebControl, you have a few options
this.Page.ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptInclude(typeof(WebControlThatNeedsIt), "IdentifierOfTheScriptSuchAsLoad", "~/myfile.js");
this.Page.ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptBlock(typeof(WebControlThatNeedsIt), "IdentifierOfTheScriptSuchAsLoad", "<script type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"/myfile.js\"></script>",false);
If not you can use what Quinton Suggested in the markup.
<script type="text/javascript" src="/myfile.js"></script>
Note that using the
</script>
is important, as self closing doesn't work with script tags i.e.:
<script type="text/javascript" src="/myfilewontwork.js"/>

Also, if you are using Visual Studio, you can drag the file right into your aspx file and it will generate the correct markup for you.
