Troubles using javascript file as a webresource

[Lucas]

I have a web user control with a button on it and i want to hook a javascript function to this button.

This is my web user control code:

<Assembly: WebResource("jstest.js", "text/javascript")> 
Partial Class WebUserControl
    Inherits System.Web.UI.UserControl
 
    Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As    System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
 
        ' Define the resource name and type.
        Dim rsname As String = "jstest.js"
        Dim rstype As Type = Me.GetType()
        ' Get a ClientScriptManager reference from the Page class.
        Dim cs As ClientScriptManager = Page.ClientScript
        '  Get the web resource url.
        Dim ResourceURL As String = cs.GetWebResourceUrl(rstype, rsname)
        cs.RegisterClientScriptInclude(rstype, "myscript", ResourceURL)
        ' Register the client resource with the page.
        cs.RegisterClientScriptResource(rstype, rsname)
        ' Hook js function to the button.
        Button1.Attributes.Add("onClick", "javascript:return test();")
 
    End Sub
End Class 

This is the jstest.js content:

 function test()
{
   alert("Hello World");
   return(false);
} 

This is not working. Internet explorer just indicates 'Error on the page' on the status bar and there is just this message on the detail error information: 'Object expected'... Can any body help me to make this work? am i missing something?.

I need it to be this way cause i have several javascript files with functios that i need to hook to some other controls in my web user components.

Hope anybody can help me with this...
Thanks in advance.

In your html code for the button do you have a runat="server" tag?

Nathan

Yes i do. And to lengthen my message to at least 20 characters this is my web user control client side code showing the runat="server" tag:

<%@ Control Language="VB" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeFile="WebUserControl.ascx.vb" Inherits="WebUserControl" %>
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" Style="z-index: 100; left: 26px; position: absolute;
    top: 26px" Width="178px">Press Button</asp:TextBox>
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Style="z-index: 102; left: 143px; position: absolute;
    top: 51px" Text="Click" Width="52px" />

Any idea?...

I found a solution to my problem. It is not exactly what i wanted but it's working. Instead of using the javascript file as an embedded resource, this aproach uses it as a linked resource. For whoeverneedingsomethinglikethis's sake here is the code to add javascript to a web user control as mentionated:

Web control class code:

Partial Class WebUserControl
    Inherits System.Web.UI.UserControl
 
    Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
 
        ' Define the resource name and type.
        Dim rsname As String = "jstest.js"
        Dim rstype As Type = GetType(WebUserControl)
        ' Get a ClientScriptManager reference from the Page class.
        Dim cs As ClientScriptManager = Page.ClientScript
        cs.RegisterClientScriptInclude(rstype, "myscript", rsname)
        ' Hook js function to a button.
        Button1.Attributes.Add("onClick", "javascript:return test();")
 
    End Sub
