Rendering JavaScript file in _Layout.cshtml

Question

I have a problem with rendering JavaScript file in _Layout.cshtml.

@section Scripts {
    <script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/Custom/productsSuggests.js")"></script>
}

When I paste it to Index.cshtml (Home) it works, but only on this page. I need this script to work globally. I have partial view SearchBox in HomeViews catalog, and Controller Action in HomeController.

Scripts section is part of _Layout, you have to put this script in _Layout in head section of the document — Ehsan Sajjad

Here you define a section called Scripts. Do you actually render it later with RenderSection? Are you sure you need a section in the first place given that you're putting this into layout? — GSerg

Because you are in the _Layout.cshtml view, it is likely the top level view. A section is a placeholder in a parent view.

Instead of your current code, try

@Scripts.Render("~/Scripts/Custom/productsSuggests.js")

In the Layout.cshtml you can use: @Scripts.Render("YOUR BUNDLES")

When will be add layout to another page this bundle will be global work.
