Programmatically Include Link to External Javascript File In Master Page

[Joey]

I have the following in the head section of the ASPX page for my
master page:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"
src="MyCodeFile.js"></script>

This includes my external javascript code file for my master page and
all subscribing pages. But I ran into a problem. This only works for
pages in the root directory of the site. The (relative) path is wrong
for pages in other folders on the website.

I tried using src="/MyCodeFile.js", but that doesn't work. I
understand that if I was using a server control I could use src="~/
MyCodeFile.js".

So what is the best way to handle this?

You can use the RegisterClientScriptInclude method
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/kx145dw2.aspx
if necessary, along with the ResolveUrl helper method.

What the path of your web application is?

If something like http://localhost/MyApp/ then you should use src="/
MyApp/MyCodeFile.js"

- Show quoted text -

Could you provide an example for how to do this?

I am familiar with ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(), etc...I use
it to register scripts located in my external javascript file. But how
do I register the file itself?

Joey,
You need to go back and read the MSDN page at the link I provided in my
previous response. If you still "don't get it, post again and somebody will
respond.
